Royzzz of North Sioux City, LLC's license status shifted to inactive on August 6, according to the state license roster. The closure appears part of a broader deactivation wave: 11 other South Dakota cannabis operators—including Northern Hills Alternative Health, Dakota Health and Wellness, Redwater Cannabis Care LLC, and Superior Buds—all had licenses marked inactive the same day.

Official records show Royzzz operates multiple cultivation and dispensary licenses across South Dakota. The North Sioux City dispensary license is listed as active in state records, creating a discrepancy with the reported inactivity. Three other Royzzz cultivation licenses (Sioux Falls, Watertown, Gavins Point) also appear active in official data, raising questions about whether the roster update reflects a partial, operational, or administrative change.

South Dakota's medical-cannabis market currently lists 52 open retail locations and 30 cultivation operations. Watch whether the state regulator clarifies whether these license deactivations are permanent closures, temporary suspensions, or data reconciliation artifacts—and whether remaining Royzzz locations maintain operational status.
