Clearlake Ventures, LLC is no longer an active licensee in California as of September 3, according to the state license roster. The deactivation follows a pattern of license churn in the state: one other operator (Tamarack Valley Partners, LLC) went inactive in late August, and Original Cannabis Cafe's license was deactivated on September 1.

The closure occurs within a market showing steady operational scale. California maintains 1,262 active retail locations, 4,429 cultivation licenses, and 442 manufacturing operators as of early September. Recent activity also reflects significant ownership transfers and brand rebranding—notably multiple Cookies locations and equity retailers cycling through licensee name changes in the past week—suggesting ongoing consolidation and restructuring alongside routine exits.

The specific reason for Clearlake Ventures' deactivation is not disclosed in the roster. Watch whether the closure correlates with a broader exit or reflects routine license non-renewal or surrender.
