PWC D1, LLC, a licensed cannabis retailer in Ohio, has rebranded to AYR Dispensary, according to the state license roster. The name change appears to reflect a shift in the retailer's public identity, though the event alone provides no detail on operational scope, location, or whether the move signals broader corporate restructuring.

Ohio's retail market continues modest expansion, with 218 open dispensaries as of late July. Recent activity has included Standard Wellness repositioning Cleveland-area locations and Greenlight adding four new sites. The timing of this name change—amid ongoing regulatory evolution including Hamilton's recent reversal of its dispensary ban—suggests continued marketplace consolidation and branding moves among existing licensees.

Watch for any public announcements or operational changes from the newly rebranded AYR Dispensary, which may clarify whether the name change reflects new ownership, a franchise arrangement, or purely a marketing refresh.
