Business handshake in an office — file photo, not the scene of this story.

A Washington cannabis licensee operating under the name RITUAL has changed its registered name to CRAFT LEAVENWORTH, according to state license roster records updated August 12. The ownership change comes as part of routine licensing activity in the state, which maintains 482 open retail locations and 1,982 combined cultivation and manufacturing licenses.

The rebranding occurs alongside a wave of license deactivations logged on the same date—at least a dozen other licensees including The Green Shelf, Stickys, Fillabong, and Evolve Cannabis saw licenses marked inactive in Washington. The pattern suggests ongoing portfolio shifts and potential market consolidation, though specific reasons for individual closures or ownership transfers are not disclosed in public license records.

Watch whether CRAFT LEAVENWORTH's operational footprint or sales reporting changes in coming months, which would clarify whether this is a straightforward name change or part of a larger entity restructuring.
