Baked Rooster, a cannabis retailer in Lodi, New Jersey, has had its license deactivated, according to the state license roster updated October 2. The closure appears to occur amid steady turnover in the state's retail segment—New Jersey currently operates 387 active retail licenses across its adult-use market.

The nature of the deactivation is unclear from available records. The timing coincides with broader regulatory activity in the state, including recent arrests of cannabis officials on bribery charges and ongoing license approvals, but no direct connection is evident. Watch for any public filing or announcement clarifying whether the closure was voluntary, compliance-related, or otherwise mandated.
