As Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference returns to Florida, in a new venue in Hollywood, on April 16 and 17, gathering top CEOs, investors and leaders in the cannabis industry, let’s scroll through the latest store openings in the burgeoning space.

Illinois Cannabis Market Continues To Grow

Cannabis sales in Illinois seem to be thriving. In 2023, the licensed cannabis retailers sold more than $1.6 billion worth of cannabis, marking the third consecutive year of substantial growth in this sector.

As a result, the burgeoning market will continue to expand in 2024.

MariMed Inc. (OTCQX:MRMD) (CSE:MRMD) announced in early March the opening of its permanent and much “bigger” Thrive dispensary in Casey. The dispensary has operated from a temporary location since opening in October 2023. Located at 912 N. State Highway 49, near the intersection of State Highway 49 and U.S. Interstate 70, Thrive Casey is the company’s fifth operational dispensary statewide.

Florida's Cannabis Retail Footprint Grows As Rec Legalization Looms

As talks around possible recreational legalization heat up in Florida, several companies expanded their retail footprints statewide.

The proposed legalization amendment is backed by Smart & Safe Florida (SSF) and funded by cannabis retailer Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE:TRUL) (OTCQX:TCNNF), which recently announced the opening of a new express medical cannabis dispensary in Palm Bay. Located at 4940 Babcock Street NE, Trulieve Palm Bay is the company’s second dispensary dedicated solely to express pickup orders.

Trulieve’s founder and CEO Kim Rivers will be at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Florida along with dozens of other cannabis movers and shakers.

On March 1, RISE Dispensaries, a cannabis retail chain owned by Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:GTII) (OTCQX:GTBIF) kicked off cannabis sales at its 15th retail location in the Sunshine State and 92nd nationwide. Located at 11192 N.
