Work continues on a Sunset Boulevard property that’s set to become Cape May County’s first legal cannabis dispensary.
The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission approved a class 5 retail license for Tomas Nuscis for Shore House Canna LLC in March. The business had originally planned to open its doors by April 20, often described as a weed holiday, and later advertised a June 30 opening.
Now, the store hopes to begin serving customers by Labor Day.
“We’re a little hesitant to put a date on it,” said Nicole Melchiorre, one of the principals of Shore House Canna.
That’s in part because even with a license, the business is not through with the regulatory process. Renovations continue to transform the building, which had housed a gift shop and a construction company, into a legally compliant weed store.
