SPARK1 Inc.'s license is no longer active in Montana, according to the state license roster updated October 6. The deactivation appears part of a broader regulatory action: the same roster update simultaneously removed licenses for at least 11 other operators, including Three Rivers Cannabis MT LLC, Connoisseur Pharms Inc., and Elevated Missoula Brooks.

Montana's adult-use market currently maintains 535 retail locations, 296 cultivation licensees, and 181 manufacturing entities—suggesting the closures represent churn rather than systemic contraction. Recent sales data shows July and August volumes in the low millions of dollars, consistent with a functioning but modest market.

Watch whether Montana regulators disclose closure reasons (compliance failures, voluntary surrender, or license expiration) in regulatory guidance or public filings. Bunched deactivations like this often signal routine license-renewal cycles or a single compliance enforcement action.
