KBJRJ has been licensed as a cultivation operator in Mississippi, according to state license records dated Sept. 18. The entity holds active cultivator facility license MCUL009230. The approval arrives as part of a notably large batch: state records show nine new operators—including cultivators, a distributor, a manufacturer, and two retailers—all activated the same day.

Mississippi's cultivation tier has grown to 113 active facilities, per the latest state snapshot. Against a backdrop of 188 open retail locations and 42 manufacturers, the addition of KBJRJ and six other cultivators suggests continued buildout of supply-side capacity. One concurrent dispensary closure (Cultivated Wellness Dispensary NO.2) indicates selective license turnover amid expansion.

Watch whether this cohort of nine new licensees brings material supply growth or remains typical of Mississippi's incremental scaling. No pending applications remain in the system, suggesting the state may be moving through its approved queue.
