According to Bloomberg, Green Thumb Industries Inc. signed a deal with Circle K to sell licensed marijuana at its gasoline retailers. The partnership is going to begin starting in 2023, and will be distributed to 10 Circle K stores in Florida. The Green Thumb 'outposts' will have a separate entrance from the Circle K store and will be called 'RISE Express'. The goal is to normalize marijuana, by integrating it with regular consumer products. Green Thumb Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler says:
“This is a futuristic deal.”
