Chicago, IL and Vancouver, British Columbia — November 8, 2018 — /D.M.O. Newswire/ — Green Thumb Industries Inc. (GTI) (CSE:GTII) (OTC:GTBIF) today announced it has closed on a previously announced transaction to acquire Florida-based KSGNF, LLC. The acquisition makes GTI one of only 14 companies approved to operate a medical marijuana business in the state of Florida. GTI will be authorized to operate a cultivation and processing facility in Homestead and up to 30 dispensaries throughout the state.

“The team continues to execute on our business plan to methodically build scale across the country and closing on the Florida acquisition is an important milestone,” said GTI Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. “We are committed to disciplined capital allocation to optimize shareholder value and believe that serving the 21 million people across Florida communities with expanded options is firmly aligned with that strategy.”

GTI has been harvesting and building inventory over the last several months at its Homestead facility as it scales its wholesale branded products business. Expanding the retail business, GTI has signed nine leases for RISE retail stores in attractive, high-traffic locations throughout the state including West Palm Beach, Port St. Lucie, Deerfield Beach, Hallandale Beach, Delray Beach, Bonita Springs, Pinellas Park, Oakland Park and Kendall.

Florida’s medical marijuana market has attractive growth potential with more than 185,000 qualified patients, and approximately 3,000 signing up weekly. The state has seen a nearly 240 percent increase in dispensed cannabis since the Florida Department of Health began tracking it in February 2018. Florida allows for home delivery and has a patient-focused list of qualifying conditions including chronic pain, PTSD, HIV and cancer.

“KSGNF was founded on the principles of commitment to patients and a desire to provide Floridians with the safest and most effective medical marijuana products,” said Dr. Jeffrey Postal, KSGNF co-founder. “GTI is a clear industry leader that shares these same principles and is committed to developing and delivering innovative products to patients in need. We have been very impressed with GTI’s leadership team and vision for the future. KSGNF had a wide range of companies interested in partnering with us — GTI was hand-selected and the clear right choice.”

This follows GTI’s continued execution of its strategy to build scale through retail expansion with the acquisition of a retail license on Boston’s high traffic Newbury Street earlier this month. GTI also increased its ownership stake from 25 percent to 50 percent in The Clinic Effingham, a dispensary in Illinois.
