Dakota Green Dispensary's license has been marked inactive on South Dakota's state license roster as of August 6, according to the state's official records. The closure comes amid a cluster of 12 license deactivations recorded the same day, including Royzzz locations, Northern Hills Alternative Health, and Superior Buds, suggesting possible batch processing of license status changes rather than isolated operator exits.

Official records indicate Dakota Green Dispensary held both a medical cannabis cultivation and medical cannabis dispensary license in Box Elder, South Dakota. The state currently maintains 52 open retail locations and 30 cultivation licenses across its medical program, per the Aug. 6 roster update.

Key to watch: whether the simultaneous deactivations represent routine license expirations, non-renewals, or regulatory enforcement actions—state filings should clarify the reason for the batch of inactive statuses.
