Green Thumb Industries opened its 24th Florida location—RISE Port St. Lucie—on Aug. 22, according to Yahoo Finance. The opening arrives as Florida's medical cannabis market sustains steady retail expansion, with 804 open dispensaries currently licensed across the state.

The Port St. Lucie site follows Green Thumb's 23rd Florida store, which opened earlier in August. The chain's repeated openings in a single month suggest sustained investment in market penetration despite a competitive landscape that includes multiple other operators expanding simultaneously across the state.

Watch whether Green Thumb's growth trajectory in Florida continues through year-end, and whether the state's total dispensary count stabilizes around current levels or climbs further given the pipeline of pending retail licenses and operator expansion activity evident in recent weeks.
