Search for a dispensary in Somerset and the results sit in Franklin Township, so the township ordinance governs them, not a Somerset city hall. We could not confirm the final text, so treat the 18-store cap as a proposal until you have seen the ordinance.
Two roads, most of the list
Hamilton Street carries Bridge City Collective at 665, Green Knight at 831 and Dispensary of Somerset at 920, all within a few blocks. Easton Avenue has Bloc at 1075 and Leaf Haus at 900. Further afield: Herb's Premium on Franklin Boulevard, Dazed Cannabis on Somerset Street and Central Jersey Dispensary on Kennedy Boulevard.
Why the total on the ticket can differ
A municipal transfer tax of up to 2% is optional, so two nearby towns can print different totals for the same product. Confirm that the address matches the licence on the Cannabis Regulatory Commission's permitted list before you drive; the licence-check guide shows how, and the New Jersey hub has the statewide limits.
