Gold Flora is a woman-owned California cannabis company founded in Southern California in 2017 and led by founder and chief executive Laurie Holcomb. It runs cultivation, manufacturing, extraction, distribution and retail inside one vertically integrated platform under California licence C11-0001268. In 2023 it merged with TPCO Holding Corp. to form Gold Flora Corporation, and in March 2025 it filed for voluntary receivership.
The vertical model
Gold Flora assembled cultivation, manufacturing, extraction, distribution and stores under one platform rather than relying on outside vendors. Its production base is a roughly 200,000-square-foot cannabis campus in Desert Hot Springs, designed to scale to 620,000 square feet.
Products
The consumer line covers premium indoor flower, the Dream gummy line and one-gram rechargeable vape pens split across three collections. Gold Rush is a distillate disposable the company lists at 85 to 95 percent THC, built on a PurTec R1 ceramic coil with a 310mAh battery rated for 300-plus puffs, in Sour Diesel Lime, Mac 1 Mango and GMO Blood Orange. Black Gold is a full-spectrum cured-resin disposable with cannabis-derived terpenes, in Super Silver Haze, Lion's Cake and Blue Zkittlez. White Gold rounds out the vape range.
Retail
Gold Flora's locator lists licensed California dispensaries statewide, from Sacramento and San Jose through the Bay Area to Los Angeles and San Diego. Through the merged platform the company has also operated its own stores under the King's Crew, Airfield Supply Company and Higher Level banners.
The 2023 TPCO merger
On July 10, 2023, Gold Flora, LLC and TPCO Holding Corp. — commonly known as The Parent Company — completed an all-stock merger, amalgamating under British Columbia law and continuing into Delaware as Gold Flora Corporation, listed on the NEO Exchange under the ticker GRAM. Former TPCO shareholders held roughly 49 percent of the combined equity and former Gold Flora members roughly 51 percent. Holcomb continued as chief executive and Troy Datcher became chairman of the board. The combined portfolio added Roll Bleezy, Sword & Stoned, Aviation Cannabis and Jetfuel Cannabis.
Receivership in 2025
On March 27, 2025, Gold Flora Corporation filed for a voluntary court-appointed receivership under California law. It cited legacy lawsuit obligations inherited from the TPCO acquisition, mounting operational costs, high-yield debt and a notice of default from J.J. Astor & Co. on senior secured promissory notes carrying roughly $11.5 million in outstanding principal and interest. Richard Ormond of Stone Capital Blossom, LLC was named as the anticipated receiver. Holcomb said receivership was the company's only option to sell the business as a going concern.
