Red Clover Select/Mechayeh license deactivated in Vermont
Vermont cannabis operator Red Clover Select joins dozen-plus closures in August amid ongoing market consolidation.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Red Clover Select, LLC operating as Mechayeh, has had its license deactivated in Vermont, according to state license records. The closure marks the latest in a sustained wave of operator exits: at least 12 other Vermont cannabis licenses have been deactivated since August 11, spanning cultivation, retail, and manufacturing operations.
Vermont's adult-use market remains active with 107 open retail locations and 293 cultivation licenses as of August 20, suggesting the closures represent individual operator attrition rather than wholesale market contraction. June sales recorded $13.1 million, consistent with prior monthly volumes ranging $12–13 million year-to-date.
The pattern of August deactivations warrants monitoring to determine whether they reflect seasonal consolidation, regulatory enforcement action, or operator-initiated exits. Any significant shift in operational capacity or sales trajectory would signal broader market pressures.
