Down to the Roots license deactivated in Vermont; 12 closures in one week
GoldMill Group's Down to the Roots joins a wave of Vermont cannabis license deactivations reported Sept. 5–8.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0GoldMill Group Ltd. Co, operating as Down to the Roots, has had its Vermont cannabis license deactivated, according to the state license roster. The closure is one of at least 12 license deactivations recorded across Vermont between September 5 and 8, affecting retailers, cultivators, and manufacturers including Family Tree LLC, Fog Valley Farm LLC, and Florist VT LLC.
Vermont's active retail footprint stands at 101 locations with 272 cultivation operations and 81 manufacturing licenses currently licensed, per the state roster. Recent monthly sales data shows the market averaging roughly $13 million per month over the first half of 2026. The clustering of deactivations over three days suggests either a regulatory batch update or a wave of business exits, though no enforcement action or policy change has been publicly announced.
Worth monitoring: whether the deactivations signal broader financial or operational strain in Vermont's market, or reflect routine license expirations and routine roster maintenance. State communication on any coordinating factor would clarify the nature of the turnover.
