Consumer Protection Issues Summary Suspension of Gulf Convenience LLC Lottery Sales Agent License for Selling Cannabis Without a License

7/28/2025

HARTFORD – Consumer Protection Commissioner Bryan Cafferelli has signed a summary suspension of the Lottery Sales Agent license for Gulf Convenience LLC (LSA.118680), located at 111 Gulf Street in Milford.

This suspension is the result of a collaborative compliance inspection effort in Milford at various vape shops that also held lottery credentials. The inspections stemmed from many consumer complaints alleging sales of vape and tobacco products to minors. The City of Milford currently does not permit or allow the sale of THC or marijuana substances anywhere within its city limits.

“Promoting and selling illegal cannabis products, especially where people who are underage may buy them, is a gross violation of the trust we put in our license holders,” said DCP Commissioner Bryan T. Cafferelli. “Thank you to the city of Milford, as well as our sister agencies, who we will continue to work together with to prevent the sale of illegal and dangerous products.”

Gulf Convenience LLC’s Lottery Sales Agent license is suspended, effective immediately, and no lottery sales may be conducted until further written notice. The license was first issued by DCP on December 8, 2023, and has been renewed annually with the current license set to expire on March 31, 2026.

A copy of the summary suspension is attached.

Complaints about illegal cannabis sales can be sent to DCP.cannabis@ct.gov.
