Zooted Gas Co.'s San Mateo retail location has been deactivated according to the New Mexico state license roster, updated September 12. The closure appears as part of a broader wave of retail deactivations recorded the same day—at least 11 other dispensary licenses across the state went inactive simultaneously, including outlets operated by Purlife Holdings, Vireo of Santa Fe, and Score 420.

State records show New Mexico maintains 1,006 open retail licenses as of the update, suggesting the recent deactivations represent a modest portion of the active dispensary base. The timing and scale of simultaneous inactivations warrants clarification on whether these reflect license expirations, voluntary surrenders, or enforcement actions.

Watch for regulatory filings or operator statements that clarify whether Zooted Gas Co. intends to renew, relocate, or exit the market—and whether the cluster of same-day closures signals a broader compliance or licensing cycle in the state.
