CBJ Retail LLC has changed its licensee name to High Tidez CI, according to New York's state license roster. The rebranding appears part of a broader wave of ownership and naming activity across the state's retail segment on August 2.

At least 11 other retail operators underwent similar name changes the same day—including True North Cannabis LLC (now Silver Cannabis Company), SUPPLY DESIGN LLC (now Twenty8Gramz), and October Basics, LLC (now Mills Cannabis). Meanwhile, one operator, R. Sean Manning, Inc., saw its license deactivated. New York currently operates 869 retail locations across the state.

The cluster of rebranding events suggests possible portfolio restructuring or consolidation among existing licensees, though the underlying ownership or operational rationale remains opaque from roster data alone. Watch whether these name changes correlate with any retail closures or if they precede operational or ownership structure announcements.
