Hepworth Pura LLC, which holds active adult-use distributor and processor licenses in New York, has changed its licensee name to 5 Owl Dr., according to state license records updated July 29. The entity retains its two licenses (OCM-DIST-25-000156 and OCM-PROC-25-000251), both marked active.

The rebranding is one of at least six licensee name changes logged in New York on July 28–29, including entities such as Ayrloom (now Gen V Labs, LLC) and The Cannabis Spot Inc. (now Maison Canal). These updates suggest ongoing restructuring among operators in the state's adult-use supply chain as the market matures.

The change carries no immediate operational signal—name amendments are routine in licensed cannabis systems. What to watch: whether the rebranding reflects ownership consolidation or asset repositioning, and whether similar changes accelerate as New York's 868 open retail locations compete for product sourcing.
