Lionheart Cannabis Outlet Store License Goes Inactive in Montana Amid Broader Closure Wave
State roster shows Lionheart International LLC's retail license lapsed alongside a dozen other Montana cannabis license closures reported the same day.
FILE — closure · Ivan Radic / CC BY 2.0The license for Lionheart International LLC, operating as Lionheart Cannabis Outlet Store, is no longer active in Montana, according to the state license roster, as first reported by State license roster on Aug. 5, 2026.
The closure was one of at least twelve reported by the same source on the same date, including Holistic Harvest Cannabis Farms, A Perfect Cure MT's Virginia City Farmacy Ennis location, Three Rivers Cannabis and Haze Bay, Yellowstoned Cannabis Co.'s Labs and Farms sites, Advanced Alternatives, Top Shelf Botanicals, Lone Peak Caregivers' LPC West Grow, and multiple entries tied to Sacred Sun Farms Inc. The clustering of so many deactivations in a single reporting batch suggests a broader administrative update to Montana's licensing database rather than an isolated event, though the roster does not specify a cause for any individual closure.
No official license record currently matches Lionheart International LLC in the data reviewed, leaving open whether the business ceased operations, consolidated under another entity, or was reclassified.
The Numbers
Montana's adult-use market currently counts 538 open retail licenses, 306 cultivation licenses, 181 manufacturing licenses and 3 labs, with zero pending applications listed in the state stats snapshot. Against that base of more than 500 active retailers, the loss of a single outlet license represents a small fraction of statewide retail capacity, though the simultaneous exit of a dozen other license holders points to a heavier churn than a single-store closure would imply.
Statewide monthly sales figures for the most recent periods show combined reported sales of roughly $0.054 billion in June 2026 across the tracked categories, compared with about $0.054 billion in May 2026 — a roughly flat month-over-month total, based on the three reported sales components for each month.
What to Watch
With pending applications at zero, it is unclear from available data whether new retail licenses are in the pipeline to offset this and the other closures reported alongside it. Whether Lionheart's brand or location resurfaces under a new license holder, or whether the broader cluster of exits reflects a wider consolidation trend among Montana operators, will depend on future roster updates.
