TORONTO – Fire & Flower US Holdings Inc. (formerly American Acres Managers), announced that it has completed a non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible debentures in the principal amount of approximately $5,000,000 to the existing shareholders of the Company. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for acquisition capital, capital expenditures, and general working capital. With operations already in California, operating as Fire and Flower and utilizing the Hifyre platform, this unique partnership allows expansion to additional states including Colorado, bringing with it the incomparable Hifyre technology optimizing the personalized connection to customers. They are anticipating accessing two additional states in Q4 of 2022.
