Shangri-La CT Inc, holder of active licenses for cannabis food and beverage manufacturing and retail operations in Connecticut, has changed its licensee name to Alpha CT 3 LLC, according to state license roster records dated August 1. The company maintains both licenses—No. 1941 (manufacturer) and No. 11824 (retailer)—in active status under the new entity name.

The rebranding appears part of a broader shift in Connecticut's operator landscape. Related records show a contemporaneous change of the same parent licensee to Alpha CT 1 LLC, suggesting a possible portfolio reorganization or holding structure adjustment. Connecticut's adult-use market continues gradual expansion, with 79 open retailers and 22 cultivation sites as of the update date, and 16 pending applications in queue.

Watch for whether additional Shangri-La or Alpha-branded license transfers follow, which could signal a larger consolidation or restructuring pattern among mid-sized operators in the state.
