Floridians will soon be able to buy marijuana products along with cigarettes and snacks at Circle K gas stations, according to Green Thumb Industries, one of the largest U.S. cannabis producers.
Under a new partnership between the companies, starting next year weed will be sold at 10 "RISE Express" dispensaries with separate entrances from the gas stations, Chicago-based Green Thumb announced Wednesday. Among the products that will be for sale are marijuana flower, pre-rolls, gummies and vapes, which Green Thumb will supply from a 28-acre facility the company is building in Ocala, Florida, that's slated to be up and running by the end of 2022.
The deal with Circle K will make it "easier and more efficient for patients to purchase high-quality cannabis as part of their everyday routine when stopping by their local convenience store," Ben Kovler, Green Thumb's founder and CEO, said in a statement.
