SHANGRI-LA CT INC. has changed its licensee name to ALPHA CT 4 LLC, according to Connecticut's state license roster. The company operates two active retail licenses in the state: a medical cannabis hybrid retailer license (no. 8301) and an adult-use cannabis retailer license (no. 3185).

The name change follows a series of license activity in Connecticut over the past week, including related rebranding—another SHANGRI-LA entity changed to ALPHA CT 5 LLC on the same date. Such restructurings are common in regulated markets and may reflect ownership reorganization, operational consolidation, or compliance adjustments.

Connecticut's adult-use market continues to expand, with 79 retail locations now open and cumulative sales reaching $713 million since the 2023 launch. The timing of this rebranding occurs as the state maintains a regulatory environment with 26 active cultivation and 13 active manufacturing facilities. Monitor whether ALPHA CT 4 LLC's licenses remain fully operational under the new entity name.
