The cannabis industry continues to blossom in Mount Laurel, with the first recreational marijuana store officially opening on Saturday and two other businesses going before the Township zoning board next week.
Daylite Cannabis, the town's first store of its kind, will hold a grand opening on Saturday, September 30, at its store at 1136 Route 73, on the southbound side before the Church Road intersection.
Owner Steve Cassidy told 70and73.com his soft launch was on September 12 and "we are getting busier and busier every day as awareness of our business grows."
The Township has supported the application of another recreational marijuana retailer to open in the former Boiling Seafood restaurant next door to Cassidy's shop and another a few hundred feet south on the same side in the former Sage Diner. Another was approved to open on Church Road, near Fellowship Road.
These operators await a license to open from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission, which meets October 19 when commissioners are expected to award more licenses.
