Sweetspot Farms, a rapidly growing cannabis company with operations across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, today announced the grand opening of its newest dispensary, located at 75 Route 4 in River Edge.
The opening marks the company’s 8th dispensary nationwide and an expansion of its retail footprint in New Jersey. Sweetspot held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 25, 2025, to celebrate the launch. River Edge Mayor Thomas Papaleo and members of the city council were on hand, with the Mayor issuing a proclamation welcoming the new business.
The Mayor’s proclamation stated that the opening of Sweetspot Dispensary “represents a new chapter in our community’s local business economy, contributing to job creation and economic growth in a regulated industry.”
Focus on education and accessibility
The new dispensary is designed to cater to a wide range of adult-use consumers, emphasizing a modern and approachable store design. Sweetspot is known for its commitment to customer education, creating a welcoming environment for both seasoned users and first-time cannabis consumers.
The store features an informed shopping experience where customers can browse a curated selection of premium flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, and accessories. Products are showcased with detailed information on THC, cannabinoids, and dominant terpenes to help customers make educated choices.
“We are excited to announce the opening of Sweetspot in River Edge, New Jersey,” said Ben Herbst, Chief Business Development Officer. “Conveniently located off Route 4 with ample parking, Sweetspot’s newest store is thoughtfully designed to serve a high volume of customers with efficiency. We look forward to welcoming residents of River Edge and the greater Bergen County community.”
Sweetspot staff are highly trained to provide friendly customer service and low-dose product recommendations, maintaining a low-pressure environment for exploration.
