Mike Tyson's Cannabis Brand Reaches More Shelves In Florida And Illinois Via Deal With Verano

Mike Tyson's TYSON 2.0 announced on Friday that it is expanding into Florida and Illinois with multi-state cannabis operator Verano Holdings Corp. VRNO VRNOF.

Under the deal, TYSON 2.0 will leverage Verano's network and operational expertise to broaden its saturation of Florida and Illinois markets.

Verano's state-of-the-art cultivation facilities and dispensaries – MÜV in Florida and Zen Leaf in Illinois – are expected to scale TYSON 2.0's impact.

TYSON 2.0's famous Mike Bites edibles are now available in both markets. Additionally, vape cartridges are currently available in Illinois with plans to launch in Florida later this year.

"We are thrilled to join forces with Verano, a leader in the cannabis industry," Tyson, co-founder and chief brand officer of TYSON 2.0, said. "This partnership represents a major step forward in our mission to deliver exceptional cannabis experiences to a wider audience. With Verano's unparalleled industry knowledge and resources, we are in a position to make a significant impact in Florida and Illinois."
