The Broken Boot Dispensary's medical cannabis dispensary license has been marked no longer active in South Dakota, according to the state license roster. The operation, which also held an active medical cannabis cultivation license, was based in Custer. The deactivation was recorded on August 6.

The closure is one of at least 12 South Dakota cannabis license deactivations logged on the same date, including multi-location operators such as the Royzzz chain (which operated in North Sioux City, Gavins Point, and Watertown) and standalone dispensaries including Dakota Dispensaries, The Flower Shop LLC, and Superior Buds. The timing and scale suggest a possible regulatory action or compliance sweep, though no official statement has been published.

South Dakota's medical cannabis market currently lists 52 active retail dispensaries and 30 active cultivation licenses. Operators and industry watchers should monitor whether the state regulator issues guidance on the cause and scope of these deactivations.
