Cannabis retail culture will finally arrive in the seaside casino resort on Thursday, a year after New Jersey legalized adult-use marijuana.
Mayor Marty Small Sr. signed what he called a “historic business license” granting MPX NJ the right to sell recreational marijuana from their storefront on New York Avenue, just next to the city’s equally pioneering independent coffee shop, Hay Day Coffee, in the historic and newly renovated Bywater Building.
“This is the first dispensary to open in Atlantic City, and what better way than to open it on the marijuana holiday,” Small said, referring to 4/20.
Janine Ratliff, MPX general manager, said the store will open at 11 a.m. on Thursday, with discounts, and stay open until 8 p.m.
