Ruthie's, LLC has lost its active status on South Dakota's cannabis license roster, according to state records updated Wednesday. The closure is one of at least a dozen deactivations logged the same day, including multiple Royzzz-branded locations and dispensaries such as The Broken Boot, Superior Buds, and Dakota Dispensaries.

South Dakota maintains a medical-only program with 52 open retail licenses and 30 active cultivation permits as of the update. The simultaneous deactivations suggest a possible compliance action, license renewal failure, or administrative processing event, though state records do not specify closure reasons.

Watch whether South Dakota's regulator issues guidance clarifying the cause of the August closures and whether retail count continues to decline in coming weeks.
