This is the borough’s first retail recreation license and second license issued overall. The first license was for a medicinal marijuana operator, Aunt Mary’s Dispensary.
The new recreational cannabis retailer is set to be located at the now closed 25 Burgers location in Flemington at 313 U.S. Route 202.
“The applicant provided a genuine interest and desire to be a true part of the community and especially the business community,” Mayor Marcia Karrow said. “They acknowledge that they are going to be a draw from outside the borough and want to help bring additional customers to the borough's business community. We expect Bless Wellness is going to be a partner and active member of the borough.”
The unanimous vote came after a closed executive session at the July 10 council meeting.
The resolution brought before the council was to approve the award of a class 5 cannabis license to Bless Wellness.
