Shangri-La CT Inc, which holds active licenses for cannabis food and beverage manufacturing and retail operations in Connecticut, has changed its licensee name to Alpha CT 1 LLC, according to the state license roster. The company operates under license nos. 1941 (manufacturer) and 11824 (retailer), both currently active.

The rebranding appears connected to broader portfolio restructuring: related state records show nearly simultaneous name changes involving the same parent entity converting to Alpha CT 3 LLC. The timing and parallel filings suggest a strategic reorganization rather than a single-location transaction.

Connecticut's adult-use market continues expanding, with 79 retail locations and 22 cultivation operations now licensed. Watch whether the Alpha rebrand signals operational consolidation or precedes further licensing activity by the restructured entity.
