Green Thumb Industries, a national cannabis product company, announced the expansion plans on Tuesday.

The agreement would eventually allow the cannabis Incredibles Gummies and Shine Vapes producer to lease space at up to 600 Circle K locations across the state.

The products available at these retail stores will come from a facility in Ocala that will be operational by the end of 2022. The company also has a facility in Homestead.

Green Thumb entered the Florida market in 2018 and currently owns and operates medical cannabis retail stores in Hallandale Beach, Kendall, Deerfield Beach and West Palm Beach.

According to the Florida Department of Health, more than 700,000 Floridians are currently registered as active cardholders in the state’s medical marijuana program
