By BluntTalkzz | Published on October 27, 2025
Comprehensive Market Report: Licensed Cannabis Dispensaries and Delivery Services of New JerseyExecutive SummaryThis report provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the licensed cannabis retail market in the state of New Jersey. The data herein is compiled and verified against official records from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) and supplemented with publicly available information to create a definitive catalog of all licensed cannabis dispensaries and delivery services. As of the latest official state records, there are 366 licensed personal-use cannabis businesses operating in New Jersey.1 This document is structured to serve as a foundational dataset for a specialized artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge base, prioritizing data accuracy, structural integrity, and verifiable facts.Part 1 of this report details the regulatory framework established by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission, defining its mission, authority, and the specific license categories that govern the retail and delivery sectors. Part 2 constitutes the core of the report: an exhaustive directory of licensed cannabis retail dispensaries, organized alphabetically by county. Each entry includes detailed business identification, contact information, an operational synopsis, and a summary of public perception. Part 3 provides a specific directory of licensed cannabis delivery services, distinguishing between dedicated third-party logistics operators (Class 6 Licensees) and retailers that operate their own in-house delivery services. The report concludes with an appendix summarizing key market landscape observations, including geographic distribution and emerging industry trends such as the development of on-site consumption lounges and drive-thru services.Part 1: The Regulatory Framework: The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC)The legal cannabis market in New Jersey is governed exclusively by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC). This state government agency serves as the sole authority for licensing, regulating, and enforcing the rules for both medicinal and adult-use cannabis. Understanding the CRC's mandate and structure is essential context for the data presented in this report.1.1 Mission and MandateThe New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission was formed on April 12, 2021, following the legalization of adult-use cannabis in the state.2 It is the primary governing body responsible for regulating the existing Medicinal Cannabis Program as well as the new personal-use (recreational) cannabis program for adults 21 years and older.2The CRC's core functions encompass the entire lifecycle of cannabis commerce within the state. It is directly responsible for creating and facilitating the application process for all "plant-touching" businesses, including cultivators, manufacturers, retailers, delivery services, and testing laboratories.4 Beyond issuing licenses, the Commission establishes and enforces the operational rules necessary for these businesses, monitors cultivation and processing, regulates the distribution and sale of cannabis products, and ensures all market items are labeled with accurate product testing results.4 A key component of the CRC's mandate is a focus on social equity, aiming to create a fair and inclusive industry that addresses the disproportionate impact of past cannabis criminalization.6For verification and official inquiries, the CRC's contact information is as follows:Address: P.O. Box 360, Trenton, NJ 08625-0360 2Phone: (609) 376-7300 2Email: crc.info@crc.nj.gov 2Website: https://www.nj.gov/cannabis/ 21.2 License CategoriesThe CRC has established distinct license classes to govern different aspects of the cannabis industry. For the purposes of this report, the two most relevant categories are Class 5 and Class 6 licenses, which together define the retail and delivery landscape.5Class 5 Cannabis Retailer: This license authorizes a business to purchase recreational-use cannabis from licensed cultivators, manufacturers, or wholesalers and sell those items directly to consumers in a physical retail store.5Class 6 Cannabis Delivery: This license authorizes a business to transport a consumer's purchases of recreational-use cannabis and related supplies from a licensed retailer to that consumer's address.5The state's regulatory structure has created a bifurcated delivery market. The Class 6 license is designed for third-party logistics companies that function similarly to food delivery platforms, partnering with multiple dispensaries to offer delivery services without holding their own inventory.7 Concurrently, Class 5 retailers are also permitted to obtain authorization to conduct their own in-house deliveries, controlling the entire customer journey from the point of sale to the final delivery.10 This dual-track system creates a complex competitive environment. The official CRC website's public-facing information primarily highlights the dedicated Class 6 operators, making the identification of retailers with in-house delivery capabilities a more granular, entity-specific task.11 This distinction is critical for understanding market operations and will be explicitly delineated in Part 3 of this report.Part 2: Directory of Licensed Cannabis Retail DispensariesThis section provides a comprehensive directory of all cannabis retailers licensed by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission. The data is organized alphabetically by county and then by dispensary name. A foundational principle of this report is data integrity; therefore, information is sourced according to a strict hierarchy: 1) Official NJ-CRC license documents, 2) The dispensary's official business website, and 3) Corroborated third-party data sources. Discrepancies between sources are noted where applicable.The market is composed of two primary business models: large, publicly traded Multi-State Operators (MSOs) that operate across several states, and smaller, independent businesses that are often locally owned and may hold social equity designations (e.g., minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned). This distinction often correlates with differences in customer experience, product selection, and pricing, and is noted in each profile where information is available.Table 2.1: Master Directory of New Jersey Cannabis Retailers (Sample)The following table serves as a high-level index for a sample of the dispensaries detailed in this report.

This section catalogs both types of operators.3.1 Class 6 Licensed Delivery OperatorsThese companies are licensed specifically to provide delivery services, acting as a platform to connect consumers with products from various retail dispensaries. The New Jersey CRC website officially lists two such operators.11TerpTaxiWebsite: https://terptaxidelivery.com/ 8Business Model: TerpTaxi operates as a third-party platform that partners with licensed dispensaries to offer fast, on-demand delivery. The company does not hold its own cannabis inventory but facilitates the transaction and logistics between the retailer and the consumer.8 They employ their own drivers, referred to as "Terpies," and manage the entire delivery process, including age verification and payment at the door via cash or debit.300Service Area & Fees: The service area is dependent on the locations of their partner dispensaries. Customers enter their location to see which dispensaries can deliver to them. A minimum purchase amount may be required for delivery, particularly for longer distances.300WeediesWebsite: https://weediesnj.com/ 7Business Model: Weedies is a veteran-owned company holding a Class 6 Delivery Service license.7 It functions as a comprehensive delivery and directory platform, partnering with local dispensaries to manage all delivery logistics. This model allows retailers to offer delivery services without the expense and liability of managing their own driver fleet.7 The platform allows customers to browse products from various partner dispensaries and place orders for same-day delivery.7Service Area & Fees: Weedies appears to offer broad, statewide coverage, with their website listing service to towns across numerous counties, including Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, and Middlesex.7 They have advertised the potential for 24/7 delivery service, providing significant convenience for medical patients and consumers with non-traditional schedules.3023.2 Retailers with In-House Delivery ServicesThe following table identifies licensed Class 5 retailers that, based on available public information, operate their own delivery services.

A high concentration of retailers exists in densely populated northern counties, particularly Hudson (Jersey City, Hoboken) and Essex (Newark, Maplewood, Bloomfield). Central counties like Middlesex and Monmouth also show robust market development. In contrast, several southern and northwestern counties remain significantly underserved, with fewer retail options available to residents. This geographic disparity highlights potential opportunities for market entry in less saturated regions, pending municipal approval, while also indicating intense competition in established urban centers.Emerging TrendsSeveral operational trends are shaping the consumer experience and competitive landscape:On-Site Consumption Lounges: A significant emerging trend is the establishment of on-site consumption lounges, which provide a legal and social space for consumers to use products purchased at the attached dispensary. High Rollers Dispensary in Atlantic City is a primary example, having opened one of the first such lounges in the state.37 This offering serves as a powerful differentiator, particularly in tourist-heavy locations, by providing an immediate and compliant environment for consumption.Drive-Thru and Express Services: To enhance convenience and transaction speed, several dispensaries have implemented drive-thru windows for order pickup. Nova Farms in Woodbury and Plantabis in Rahway are notable examples of businesses that have integrated this feature, catering to customers who prioritize efficiency.146 This model, along with curbside pickup options offered by many retailers, reflects an adaptation to modern consumer expectations for speed and convenience.Social Equity and Community-Centric Branding: A defining characteristic of the New Jersey market is the strong presence of independent dispensaries with social equity designations. Businesses explicitly branding themselves as "Black-owned" (Noiré Dispensary), "women-owned" (Pure Blossom, Canopy Crossroad), or "veteran-owned" (Shore House Canna, Golden Door Dispensary) are leveraging their identities to build strong community ties.102 This trend is a direct result of the CRC's licensing priorities and creates a market dynamic where local identity, community engagement, and a compelling brand story are key competitive advantages against the scale and resources of large MSOs.
