Public Comment Period: Primo Farms North Retail Marijuana License Renewal

The Alaska Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) has officially notified Primo Farms North, LLC, doing business as Primo, that their retail marijuana store license renewal application (#24383) is complete. The application has been forwarded to the Municipality of Anchorage and the Old Seward/Oceanview Community Council for review. Local authorities have 60 days from the notice date of October 8, 2026, to file a formal protest against the renewal. Under current regulations, the AMCO Director has the delegated authority to approve renewal applications that are free of protests, public objections, or prior notices of violation. If any of these conditions are met, the application will be escalated to the Marijuana Control Board for independent consideration. In such cases, the applicant may be required to attend a mandatory board hearing. If the application is approved, the 2026/2027 license will be issued during the establishment's annual inspection or mailed if an inspection is deemed unnecessary. If a local government files a protest, the board is required to uphold it unless the protest is found to be arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable.
