Advanced Alternatives license deactivated in Montana amid wave of closures
Montana's state license roster shows Advanced Alternatives LLC no longer active; at least 11 other operators deactivated the same day.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0Advanced Alternatives LLC's license status shifted to inactive on August 5, according to Montana's state license roster. The deactivation coincides with a larger cluster of license removals across the state recorded on the same date, including operations run by Holistic Harvest Cannabis Farms, Lionheart International, Yellowstoned Cannabis Co., and Sacred Sun Farms across multiple facility types.
Montana's adult-use market remains operationally intact, with 538 retail locations, 306 cultivation sites, and 181 manufacturing licenses currently active as of early August. Recent monthly sales data from May and June totaled roughly $27–28 million, suggesting ongoing market function despite individual operator exits.
The cluster deactivation pattern may reflect license renewal cycles, voluntary exits, or compliance-driven enforcement. Industry watchers should monitor whether the state publishes formal reasons for these removals and track whether the active license count stabilizes or continues contracting in coming regulatory filings.
