Simon Property Group Announces CBD kiosks for malls
The kiosks’ novelty might serve as an added attraction for shoppers, while short-term kiosk leases are low risk.
Indianapolis-based Simon, the biggest mall operator in the U.S., has inked a deal to open 108 kiosk locations that will sell beauty and personal care products infused with cannabidiol, or CBD, a chemical produced by the cannabis plant.
Simon is partnering with Columbus, Ohio-based cannabis company Green Growth Brands (GGB) to launch the kiosks operating under GGB’s Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy brand. The products offered will be purely for topical use; the kiosks won’t sell products like vape pens or edibles.
