Weed Is Coming to Circle K Gas Stations in US Next Year Deal with Green Thumb Industries will begin with 10 stores in Florida. This could help marijuana go more mainstream.

Deal with Green Thumb Industries will begin with 10 stores in Florida. This could help marijuana go more mainstream.

Weed is coming to US gas stations.

Circle K, the global convenience-store chain, signed a deal with Green Thumb Industries Inc., one of the largest US cannabis producers, to sell licensed marijuana at its Florida gasoline retailers. The partnership will begin next year with 10 of the company’s 600 locations in the state, Green Thumb said.

The deal is a global first, given that legal marijuana has so far been sold only in stand-alone dispensaries in the US and within pharmacies in countries such as Uruguay and Germany. By selling marijuana, which is still illegal at the federal level, at gas stations where consumers buy staples like snacks and cigarettes, the partnership may help push the drug further into the mainstream.

The agreement will “continue to normalize” marijuana by integrating it with regular consumer products,” Green Thumb Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler said in an interview. “This is a futuristic deal.”

Financial terms between Chicago-based Green Thumb and Laval, Quebec-based Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., which owns Circle K, weren’t disclosed. Under the agreement, Green Thumb will lease space from Circle K locations. [Read More @ Bloomberg]
