The Flower Shop's license status changed to inactive on August 6, according to the state license roster. The company operates multiple medical cannabis cultivation and dispensary licenses across South Dakota—records show active licenses for operations in Aberdeen, Brookings, Mitchell, and Sioux Falls—but at least one license is no longer active.

The closure is part of a larger purge: the same day, at least 11 other South Dakota cannabis operators lost active status, including Royzzz (multiple locations), Northern Hills Alternative Health, Dakota Health and Wellness, Redwater Cannabis Care, and Superior Buds. The state currently reports 52 open retail and 30 open cultivation licenses.

What to watch: whether other Flower Shop licenses remain active or face deactivation, and what regulatory or compliance issues may have triggered the broader closure wave on August 6.
