LITTLE FALLS TOWNSHIP, NJ — Multistate operator Ascend Wellness Holdings Inc. and Mister Jones LLC, founded by longtime adult-use cannabis advocate Lerone Jones, partnered to open one of the first dispensaries in New Jersey under a new state law that facilitates expanded investment opportunities for diversely owned businesses in the cannabis industry.
AWH will provide comprehensive support to fund the retail space and upfront capital, ensure a steady product flow, including the company’s product portfolio, and provide technical assistance to deliver backend operational support.
Lerone Jones previously worked as the floor supervisor at Ascend Montclair, where he received mentorship and developed operational experience in the cannabis industry. His first company, Green Garden Advisors, actively advocated for adult-use cannabis in New Jersey at both the state and local levels. In 2017, he was invited to Las Vegas along with senators, assemblymen, and potential operators from New Jersey to study Nevada’s legal adult-use cannabis model.
The Mister Jones dispensary is expected to open December 19 in Little Falls Township.
