UplyftLA, a non-storefront retailer operating under California license C9-0000821-LIC, is no longer active according to state license records updated September 18. The closure marks one of several operator exits recorded across the state in recent days, alongside Ice Truck Labs, Que Tees, Genesis Manufacturing LLC, and Yubra LLC.

The deactivation occurs against a backdrop of license-roster flux: California's retail sector remains sizeable at 1,263 open locations, yet simultaneous openings (Summit Collective LLC, GOAT GLOBAL SOUTH BAY) and ownership transitions suggest ongoing market reshuffling rather than wholesale contraction. Watch whether UplyftLA's license transfers to another operator or remains dormant.
