Bloc Pharmacy - South Jordan has received a new medical cannabis pharmacy license in Utah, according to the state license roster. The activation marks the second location for Bloc Pharmacy this month; a St. George location also received approval on September 16. The South Jordan license is now listed as active.

The approval is part of a significant expansion wave: Utah's state records show nine retail licenses activated on September 16 alone, including locations for Curaleaf, Dragonfly Wellness, Beehive Farmacy, Zion Medicinal, and The Forest across various cities. This activity raised the state's total active retail count to 16. However, the same records show three retail licenses—two Beehive Farmacy locations and one Dragonfly Wellness site—became inactive between September 15 and 16, suggesting ongoing portfolio restructuring among operators.

Utah's medical cannabis market currently operates 16 retail, 5 cultivation, and 14 manufacturing licenses with no pending applications. Watch whether the recent licensing surge stabilizes or reflects continued churn in the state's retail footprint.
