FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Lavishly Sweet, LLC's license status shifted to inactive as of September 4, according to Vermont's state license roster. The closure marks the latest in a concentrated series: at least 11 other Vermont cannabis operators have lost active status between August 29 and September 3, including Flavorline Cannabis Company, Happy Farm Cannabis Company, and Spruce Mountain Cannabis.
Vermont's adult-use market remains operational with 105 retail locations, 277 cultivation sites, 85 manufacturing licenses, and 2 testing labs currently active. Monthly sales have held relatively stable in recent months, averaging roughly $13 million in the first half of 2026. The cause and scope of the recent license deactivations—whether regulatory action, voluntary surrender, or renewal failures—are not detailed in the state roster.
Watch for further clarification on whether this cluster of September closures reflects a specific compliance sweep, a renewal cycle issue, or market consolidation pressure in Vermont's competitive adult-use sector.
