Royzzz of Watertown LLC's medical cannabis cultivation and dispensary licenses have been marked inactive on the South Dakota license roster, according to state records updated August 6. The Watertown-based operator's two licenses—one for cultivation and one for retail dispensing—are listed as active in the official license database but flagged as no longer active on the state roster, suggesting a recent status change.

The deactivation is part of a larger wave: at least 11 other South Dakota cannabis operators, including multiple Royzzz locations in North Sioux City and Gavins Point, were simultaneously deactivated on the same date. The closures span cultivation, dispensary, and manufacturing operations across the state, which maintains 52 open retail locations, 30 cultivation facilities, and 14 manufacturing sites as of the roster update.

The cause and scope of the coordinated deactivations remain unclear from available records. Operators and regulators have not yet clarified whether these reflect voluntary closures, license expirations, or enforcement actions. Watch for any regulatory notice or statement from South Dakota cannabis authorities on the reason behind the multi-operator deactivations.
