Recreational Cannabis Sales On Tap For Red Bank - After Inspection

RED BANK, NJ — Monteverde NJ will open recreational cannabis services at its dispensary beginning Feb. 24, once a borough construction inspection is completed, the company said Friday.

The dispensary, the first to open in the borough in December as a medical marijuana dispensary, is at 45 North Bridge Ave. Its hours of operation are Mondays to Saturdays from noon to 7 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The opening of recreational sales planned for Saturday, Feb. 17, had to be put off, pending the borough inspection. The dispensary still can sell medicinal marijuana.

Borough Manager James Gant confirmed the company's final construction inspection will provide them with a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) so that it can operate for retail. "That will happen early next week," Gant said.

The new grand opening date for recreational sales is Feb. 24 from noon to 4 p.m., a spokesperson for the company said Friday.

There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony, as well as attendance by Deputy Mayor Kate Triggiano and Councilmember Laura Jannone, who is a substance abuse specialist and a member of the borough's Cannabis Review Board, the spokesperson said.

Monteverde is "proudly woman-owned and led" by physical therapist assistant Elizabeth Egan, the company said. "With over two decades of healthcare experience, Liz's commitment to patient well-being is at the forefront of Monteverde's mission," the company said.

Monteverde NJ is dedicated to creating a space that "prioritizes inclusivity, education, and personalized care," the company added.

Customers can explore the benefits of cannabis for various health concerns and safe recreational use. Its dispensary representatives will "work closely with both medicinal and recreational patrons, addressing any concerns," the company says.
