Fire & Flower - one of three retail pot shops in the capital - saw sales over $50,000 on opening day.

Sale results were high following opening day of retail cannabis stores in the capital.

Fire & Flower, located in the ByWard Market, announced it sold over $50,000 in cannabis products.

"We are thrilled to see that consumers in Ottawa were so pleased with the Fire & Flower retail experience," said Trevor Fencott, Chief Executive Officer of Fire & Flower. "Achieving more than $50,000 in the first day of sales is an impressive milestone and demonstrates Fire & Flower's ability to deliver a best-in-class cannabis retail experience."

The first three brick-and-mortar cannabis stores opened on Monday in Ottawa.

Up until now the only way to purchase legal pot in Ontario was through the online Ontario Cannabis Store.
