GreenCoast Dispensary has received a new retail license in New Jersey, according to the state license roster. The operation is now listed as an active cannabis retailer, expanding the state's legal supply footprint.

The license grant is part of a broader wave of retail and manufacturing approvals released by New Jersey on August 19. State records show at least nine other retail licenses and one manufacturing license issued the same day, though one retailer—Glass Meadows—became inactive in the preceding period.

New Jersey now operates 383 active retail locations across adult-use cannabis, suggesting continued momentum in buildout. Watch whether new retail openings in the state translate into measurable increases in overall sales or remain concentrated in established markets.
