TYSON 2.0, the brand led by boxer, entrepreneur and advocate Mike Tyson, is further expanding into Florida and Illinois with Verano.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Verano, a leader in the cannabis industry,” Tyson 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 position to make a significant impact in Florida and Illinois.”

TYSON 2.0 will leverage Verano’s network and operational expertise to broaden its saturation of Florida and Illinois markets. Verano’s cultivation facilities and dispensaries – MÜV (Florida) and Zen Leaf (Illinois) – will play a role in scaling TYSON 2.0’s impact. TYSON 2.0’s 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.

“Partnering with TYSON 2.0 is a fantastic opportunity for Verano, and we are excited to support their expansion into Florida and Illinois. Together, we will elevate the cannabis experience for consumers in these key markets,” said George Archos, Verano founder and CEO.

“Our continued partnership with Verano marks a pivotal moment for TYSON 2.0 and our mission to elevate the cannabis experience for consumers across the nation,” added Adam Wilks, CEO of Carma HoldCo, parent company of TYSON 2.0. “By joining forces with a respected industry leader in Verano, we're not only expanding our presence in Florida and Illinois, we're also setting the stage for unprecedented growth and innovation for the TYSON 2.0 brand. We're excited about the potential this partnership holds and look forward to working closely with Verano to reach more consumers, introduce new products, and further establish TYSON 2.0 as a dominant force in cannabis markets across the U.S.”
