Mint Cannabis Enters Florida Market With 18 Community-Oriented Dispensaries
Mint Cannabis, one of the fastest-growing cannabis operators in the United States, has officially entered the Florida medical cannabis market, marking a significant new chapter in the company’s national expansion. Known for its emphasis on wellness, product innovation, and meaningful community engagement, Mint Cannabis is bringing its patient-first philosophy to the Sunshine State with plans to open 18 medical dispensaries over the coming months. This expansion reflects both the company’s confidence in Florida’s rapidly growing medical cannabis program and its long-term commitment to serving patients through accessible, education-driven cannabis care.
As part of its initial rollout, Mint Cannabis has already opened 13 dispensaries across Florida. These locations are now welcoming patients in Bonita Springs, Bradenton, Brandon, Cape Coral, Delray Beach, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Longwood, Melbourne, Orlando, St. Augustine, Sarasota, and Stuart. In addition, five more dispensaries are scheduled to open soon in Homosassa, Madison, Miami, Spring Hill, and Riverview. Looking ahead, the company expects to continue its momentum, with plans to open several additional Florida locations by the end of 2026, further strengthening its statewide footprint.
According to Rudy Molina, Vice President of Operations for Mint Cannabis, Florida represents a natural and exciting next step for the brand. “Florida represents an exciting new chapter for the Mint, and we’re proud to plant roots in cities across the state,” Molina said. “Our focus has always been on building meaningful relationships in the communities we serve, through local hiring, community support, and education that helps patients make informed wellness choices.” This philosophy has guided Mint’s growth in other states and now serves as the foundation for its Florida strategy.
Central to Mint Cannabis’ Florida debut is its robust and evolving product portfolio. The company is actively introducing new brands and product lines designed to meet the diverse needs of medical cannabis patients. Florida patients now have access to Mint’s superior-quality, indoor-grown flower, including brand-new strains developed to deliver consistency, potency, and therapeutic value. Mint has also launched innovative all-in-one vaporizers and a growing selection of edibles, expanding patient choice across multiple consumption formats.
Among the most notable product introductions is flower from Shango, a respected California-based cultivator that is new to the Florida market. This addition underscores Mint’s commitment to bringing trusted, high-quality cannabis brands into the state. Over the coming months, Mint Cannabis plans to roll out several more brands, ensuring Florida patients have access to a wide range of premium options tailored to different wellness goals and preferences.
To celebrate its entry into Florida, Mint Cannabis is offering one of the most generous new-patient discount programs in the state. New patients receive 60% off their first visit, 60% off their second visit (up to $180 off), and 60% off their third visit (up to $100 off). These discounts are designed to make medical cannabis more accessible, particularly for patients who may be exploring cannabis as part of their wellness routine for the first time. In addition, SNAP program recipients can stack an extra 20% discount on all purchases through December 2025, further reinforcing Mint’s commitment to affordability and inclusivity. Bulk discounts are also available, allowing patients to stock up on their medication with added savings.
Mint Cannabis continues to support its returning patients with a variety of ongoing daily discounts. Veterans and their spouses are eligible for a 44% discount, reflecting the company’s strong support for the military community. Patients aged 55 and older receive a 25% discount, as do students and Medicaid or Medicare recipients. To add a personal touch to the patient experience, Mint offers a free pre-roll on a patient’s birthday and provides $75 off $150 toward a medical card renewal, subject to in-store terms and conditions. These programs are designed to foster long-term relationships and ensure patients feel valued beyond their first visit.
Community involvement is another cornerstone of Mint Cannabis’ Florida launch. Recognizing that December is Seasonal Depression Month, the company has committed to donating $1 from each all-in-one vaporizer sold at its Florida dispensaries from now through January 31, 2026, to local chapters of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. This initiative aligns with Mint’s broader mission to support mental health awareness and contribute positively to the well-being of the communities it serves. In addition, Mint plans to adopt local families in need in each of the cities where it operates, helping to brighten the holiday season through direct community support.
The Florida expansion is also expected to generate hundreds of new jobs statewide. Mint Cannabis is creating opportunities across a wide range of roles, including patient care specialists, retail associates, logistics staff, and cultivation professionals. Each dispensary is staffed with trained, knowledgeable team members who share the company’s mission to make cannabis care approachable, transparent, and grounded in education. By prioritizing local hiring, Mint aims to contribute to economic growth while building teams that reflect and understand the communities they serve.
Florida’s medical cannabis industry continues to experience record-breaking growth, with more than 880,000 registered patients statewide. This rapid expansion has positioned Florida as one of the largest and most dynamic medical cannabis markets in the country. Mint Cannabis’ entry into this environment highlights its confidence in the state’s long-term potential and its commitment to responsible, sustainable growth. Rather than focusing solely on scale, Mint emphasizes a hyperlocal approach centered on education, accessibility, and improved wellness outcomes for patients.
From Miami to Jacksonville and from Sarasota to Gainesville, Mint has carefully selected its dispensary locations to ensure broad geographic coverage across Florida’s major metropolitan areas and growing communities. Alongside its retail presence, the company plans to coordinate local partnerships, outreach initiatives, and statewide education efforts to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience for patients throughout the state. These efforts are designed to empower patients with knowledge while fostering trust and transparency.
In every market it enters, Mint Cannabis prioritizes community partnerships and charitable involvement. In Florida, the company plans to collaborate with veterans’ organizations, small businesses, and local nonprofits to help stimulate economic development and promote wellness education. These initiatives reflect Mint’s long-standing belief that responsible cannabis operators can play a meaningful role in strengthening communities—socially, economically, and through compassionate, patient-centered care.
Each Mint Cannabis dispensary offers a welcoming environment designed to put patients at ease. With a wide selection of premium cannabis products—including flower, edibles, concentrates, and topicals—Mint focuses on accessibility without compromising quality. Through thoughtful expansion, strong community ties, and a dedication to education and wellness, Mint Cannabis is positioning itself as a trusted partner for Florida’s medical cannabis patients as it continues to grow across the state.
