GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (July 8, 2026)(CNBNews) — Motorists traveling along Broadway have likely noticed the new marquee sign at the former Select Pizza building at South Broadway and George Street. The sign reads “Dispensary,” marking the site of Gloucester City’s next marijuana retail store.
This will be the second cannabis dispensary to open in Gloucester City. The first, Bluelight Special, operates out of the former O’Donnell’s Bar and Restaurant at 401 North Broadway.
Residents living near the old pizza shop say they’ve complained for months about the tall weeds surrounding the property, calling it an eyesore. Behind the building sits a pile of trash. One neighbor told CNBNews, “Hopefully, now the property will be maintained.”
In 2020, New Jersey voters approved a statewide referendum legalizing adult‑use cannabis. Of the state’s 564 municipalities, 211 allow some form of licensed cannabis business, and more than 160 specifically permit recreational retail sales. Local zoning rules vary widely, meaning not all “opt‑in” towns allow every type of cannabis license, according to reporting by The Patch.

Gloucester Township: A Case Study in Cannabis Revenue
Gloucester Township, which has five dispensaries, has publicly touted the financial benefits. Under state law, 2% of each cannabis sale goes directly to local taxes.
Township Council President Orlando Mercado reported that cannabis retailers generated $38,960.60 in local sales‑tax revenue in 2024. That figure jumped to $232,753 in 2025, he said during a council meeting.
Gloucester Township began permitting licensed recreational dispensaries in 2021, one year after the statewide referendum. The first shops opened in the summer of 2023.
Here is the list of cannabis retailers currently operating in Gloucester Township (from oldest to newest):
The New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) has awarded nearly $7 million through the 2026 New Jersey Locally Empowered, Accountable, and Determined (NJLEAD) grants to 41 community organizations across the state.

Their work is an important part of New Jersey’s continued progress in reducing recidivism.”
On a kitchen table in Salem County, Governor Sherrill signed three energy affordability bills. Among the bills was the nation-leading Data Center Tariff Bill, S731 (Burzichelli)/A796 (Bailey), which is critical to ensuring big tech pays their fair share.
This bill will require electric utilities to develop and apply special tariffs for large-load data centers to protect ratepayers from bearing the cost burden due to their large energy consumption and potential infrastructure upgrades.
Governor Sherrill also signed the RTO Adder Bill, S1673 (Zwicker)/A2757 (Katz), which ends the payment of millions of taxpayer dollars that NJ electric utilities have been receiving for being a part of our Regional Transmission Operator, PJM.
