Fox Tail Distribution Inc. has been licensed as a cultivation operator in New York, according to state license records. The company holds active adult-use cultivator license OCM-CULT-26-000252, expanding New York's licensed grow operations to 243 facilities.

The license issuance occurs amid broader activity in New York's cannabis licensing roster. Over the past day, nine existing licensees underwent name changes—including rebranding to CannaPlanet and Buzzwick banners—while Helena Corp LLC separately received manufacturing authorization. New York's market now operates 869 retail locations, 504 manufacturing facilities, and 419 pending applications across all license types.

Watch whether Fox Tail Distribution enters supply agreements with any of the state's growing retail network, and whether the pace of cultivation licensure continues to track with the influx of retail and manufacturing openings.
