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 on Wednesday. Depending on how consumers respond, the cannabis retailer "could expand to more Circle K locations," Ben Kovler, the company's CEO, told CBS MoneyWatch Friday in an email.
Circle K's owner, Alimentation Couche-Tard, has more than 7,000 stores in 47 states, with 642 locations in Florida, according to its website.
