Hemp THC Beverage Brand Gigli Earns Placement in Target

Hemp THC beverage brand Gigli has obtained placement in select Target stores across Minnesota and an upcoming rollout in Circle K locations nationwide.

With national retailers such as Target, Total Wine & More and Circle K bringing THC drinks into their everyday assortments, more consumers have access to hemp beverages.

"Our success comes down to flavor and intention," says Kam Talebi, founder of Gigli, whose background in hospitality inspired the brand's flavor-first approach. "We focus on great taste, better-for-you ingredients and a modern way to celebrate. It's not about replacing alcohol. It's about elevating how we connect, with flavor-first drinks that deliver a feel-good glow."

Gigli's lineup now includes THC cocktails, sparkling seltzers and a new line of fruit punches debuting in early 2026. The cocktail range — Blood Orange Margarita, Pineapple Mojito, Raspberry Mule, Blueberry Lemonade, Strawberry Spritz and Cherry Limeade — feature real juice, low calories and natural ingredients. They’re available in 2 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg THC options.

Gigli recently earned multiple honors from the PR%F Awards and the International Non-Alcoholic Competition, including Gold and Double Gold medals for both flavor and design.

After debuting in late 2023, Gigli projects $10 million in sales by the end of 2025v— its second year on shelves — and expects to more than double revenue in 2026 as new categories and retail partners come online. With a national distribution partnership soon to be announced, Gigli is poised to scale its glow nationwide.

Gigli is available in more than 4,000 retail points across multiple states.

"When mainstream stores like Target and Circle K decide it's time for THC, they want the best-tasting option on shelf," Talebi said. "They found it in Gigli."
