As Bill and Ted once famously said, "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K." The global chain of gas stations and convenience stores recently signed an exclusive deal with Chicago-based Green Thumb Industries Inc., one of the largest cannabis producers in the U.S, to sell marijuana from 10 of the company's locations in Florida starting in 2023. According to a statement from Green Thumb, the company will lease space from Circle K locations for what is called "RISE Express" stores, which will have a separate entrance and will offer patients "a selection of branded cannabis products including RYTHM premium flower, Dogwalkers pre-rolls, incredibles gummies and &Shine vapes."
