Top Beard LLC loses Washington cannabis license
Top Beard LLC joins at least 11 other operators deactivated in Washington on the same day, according to state license records.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Top Beard LLC's license is no longer active in Washington, according to the state license roster updated August 12. The closure comes as part of a larger wave: at least eleven other cannabis operators—including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, Evolve Cannabis, and others—had licenses deactivated on the same date.
Washington's active retail count stands at 482 locations, with 973 cultivation and 1,009 manufacturing licenses still in force. The simultaneous nature of these deactivations suggests a possible regulatory compliance sweep or batch processing of license renewals, though the state records do not specify closure reasons.
Watch whether additional license deactivations follow in coming weeks, which could indicate systemic enforcement activity or a broader market consolidation trend in the state's adult-use sector.
