AUTHENTIC 510 LLC, a licensed equity retailer in Oakland, has formally changed its licensee name to STIIIZY Oakland, according to the California state license roster. The rebranding marks a shift in identity for the retail operation while retaining its equity-retailer status under state law.

The name change arrives alongside active churn in California's retail sector. State records show at least three retail license closures in the past three days—Lifted Organics, Yubra LLC, and Pipe Dreamz—while simultaneously recording two new microbusiness licenses (VIRGIL GRANT and CRENSHAW HOLISTIC CAREGIVER). California maintains 1,261 active retail locations as of mid-August.

Watch whether the STIIIZY Oakland rebrand signals expansion of the STIIIZY brand footprint in California, or reflects a shift in ownership or operational focus for this particular location. The timing of the license roster update suggests the change has been formally approved.
