I have no doubts that trulieve will have a National presence or at the least a big east coast one. But touching on your post. Florida is expected to output over 1 Billion in sales by end of 2021. Massachusetts is expected to be a large user state as well. With 2 Billion coming from just those two states combined in the next couple years, the picture begins to be drawn imo.
Trulieve manages to only hold say 45% of Florida by that time, and secures a 25% chunk in mass. That’d be 700 Million in revs (conservative). Out of just two states. And our MC sits at just 1 Billion now? I think the longs and bigger money see’s this.
Dominating states, making a name a reputation as the go too, especially in a time where easy access is new to communities... might not be a bad idea. If they find themselves holding 20+% Market share in all the states they operate, it will add up fast.
You bring up some great points.
