Grön launched its Pearls cannabis edibles line in California, Colorado, Michigan, and Nevada on September 1, 2026, a four-state rollout the Portland, Oregon-based company described as the largest simultaneous multi-state expansion in its history. The sugar-coated gummy Pearls are available at dispensaries across all four states effective immediately, the company announced.

Grön characterized Pearls as its best-selling product line. The launch marks the brand’s first entry into California and Colorado and a relaunch in Nevada, where its products had previously been sold.

Rollout Terms And Product Mix

Each of the four states opens with seven different flavors and cannabinoid ratios of Pearls, according to the company. The macro-dose MEGA Pearls line, offered in six distinct flavors and cannabinoid ratios, is scheduled to follow in the coming months.

Grön organizes the Pearls line into Daytime, Nighttime, and Anytime collections, each pairing THC with minor cannabinoids including CBC, CBD, CBG, and CBN in ratios the company says are built for different points of the day. Grön’s official product page lists Daytime Pearls such as a 3:1 CBG-to-THC Blueberry Lemonade, a 2:1:1 THC, CBC, and CBG Tangelo, and a THC-only Raspberry Lemonade. The Anytime collection includes a 1:1 CBD-to-THC Peach Prosecco and a 4:1 CBD-to-THC Pomegranate, while the Nighttime collection includes a THC Watermelon, a 1:1:1 CBD, CBN, and THC Blackberry Lemonade, and a 10:1 CBN-to-THC Tart Cherry. The company markets the ratios with effect labels including energy, focus, relax, recover, and sleep; those characterizations are the company’s own and have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, a disclaimer that appears on Grön’s site.

President Draper Bender tied the rollout’s pace to the company’s new ownership. “This is a massive launch for us – to be introducing Pearls to four new markets essentially at the same time – and speaks volumes to both the excitement people have about our products, and the benefits of working with our new partners in WYLD,” Bender said in the announcement. He added that California and Colorado “have always been on our radar as markets we needed to crack into,” and said retailers, consumers, and patients routinely ask when the brand will reach their area.

Footprint Before And After The Launch

Before the September 1 expansion, select Grön products — MEGAs, Pearls, Pips, PIXLZ, and chocolates — were available across most dispensaries in Arizona, Oregon, New York, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, with additional markets being introduced on a rolling basis. The four new states bring the brand’s U.S. footprint to twelve states; Grön also sells in Canada.

The wider portfolio includes heritage chocolate bars, candy-coated chocolate Pips, the MEGAs line, and PIXLZ, which the company described as newly launched gummy-clusters. Grön said the broader portfolio allows for continued growth in the new markets beyond the initial Pearls assortment. A dispensary tracker on the company’s website lists product availability by location.

Wyld Acquisition Preceded The Expansion

The launch is Grön’s first major multi-state move since Wyld agreed to acquire the company. Wyld, also headquartered in Oregon, announced the acquisition on January 5, 2026, in a separate release that said the transaction was expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. The September announcement states that Wyld purchased Grön in December 2025.

The January release said the combination was designed to give Grön additional resources to reach more consumers in markets where Wyld already operates, while Grön’s core business continued to run independently. Wyld said there were no plans to change Grön’s products, formulations, or brand identities, and no plans for co-branded or “a Wyld company” packaging. At the time, Wyld reported availability across 16 U.S. states and Canada in approximately 7,500 retail locations, while Grön reported 75 products across nine U.S. states and Canada in close to 4,500 retail locations. The combined organization was projected at approximately 1,400 employees, with roughly 1,100 at Wyld and 300 at Grön. Both figures and the retail counts were self-reported by the companies.

The companies valued the U.S. edibles marketplace at $4.8 billion in the January release. Grön, founded and led by Chief Executive Officer Christine Apple (AAPL ), was described as a pioneering women-led edibles company; Wyld was founded in 2016 and is led by Founder and CEO Aaron Morris. Wyld was represented in the transaction by Joseph Bailey of Perkins Coie, and Grön by Bryan Meltzer and Anan Kahari of Feuerstein Kulick, according to the January announcement.

Grön said MEGA Pearls will arrive in all four new markets in the coming months and that additional market launches will continue on a rolling basis.
