Ayrloom, which holds an active Adult-Use Distributor License (OCM-DIST-24-000052) in New York, has changed its licensee name to Gen V Labs, LLC, according to the state license roster. The shift appears to reflect an ownership or entity restructuring rather than a material loss of operating status.

The name change occurs amid a flurry of licensing activity in New York on August 12, including five new manufacturing approvals, two new cultivation licenses, and multiple other ownership modifications. New York's adult-use market currently includes 875 active retail locations, 250 cultivation operators, and 517 manufacturing licenses, with 402 applications still pending.

Watch whether Gen V Labs maintains the same operational scope and wholesale routes as Ayrloom, or whether the transition signals a shift in the distributor's market focus or supply-chain role.
