The New York state license roster recorded a licensee name change for Dutchess Diesel to Dave's on September 23, according to state records. The shift reflects an ownership or operational restructuring, though the specific business rationale was not disclosed.

The move occurred amid a wave of roster turnover: six licenses became inactive the same day (Nicless LLC, Catskill Food Company LLC, BRINKROC CONSULTING LLC, Stop 30 LLC, Lifted NY Corp., and SJR Horticulture LLC), while four new operators received approval, including retail, cultivation, and manufacturing permits. Two other existing operators also changed licensee names.

New York's adult-use market now shows 883 open retail locations, 244 cultivation licenses, and 512 manufacturing permits, with 436 applications pending. The frequent roster shifts suggest continued consolidation and operator transitions as the market matures.
