Star Leaf Dispensary has received a new retail license in New Jersey, according to the state license roster. The dispensary, now listed as active under license NJ-retailer-star-leaf-dispensary-wrightstown, enters a market with 385 open retail locations.

The licensing action marks the latest in a series of New Jersey retail openings this month. Since early September, at least six other retail operators have secured new licenses, alongside one delivery service approval, suggesting continued market expansion despite minimal pending applications.

Watch whether New Jersey's retail footprint stabilizes near current levels or accelerates further. The state's 93 cultivation and 95 manufacturing licenses suggest supply-side capacity to support additional retail growth.
