Columbia Care Delaware's retail license status shifted to inactive as of Sept. 2, according to the state license roster. The company had operated three retail dispensaries across Delaware—in Rehoboth Beach, Smyrna, and Wilmington—all showing as active in the official license records.

The closure comes amid broader industry flux in Delaware's adult-use market, which generated $8M in tax revenue in its first year of operation. The state currently maintains 17 open retail locations and 18 cultivation facilities. Earlier in 2026, Cannabist Co. exited Delaware and commenced bankruptcy proceedings, while AYR Wellness received new retail licenses in the state during the same reporting period.

The exact timing and circumstances of Columbia Care's license deactivation remain unclear from state filings. Watch for any official statement from Columbia Care or regulators clarifying whether the closure reflects business exit, license non-renewal, or regulatory action.
