PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council has voted to rescind its prior support for a recreational cannabis dispensary application, after it was determined that the proposed location violates local zoning regulations.
Resolution R2026-145, adopted at a recent council meeting, formally rescinds Resolution R2025-200 and revokes the township’s support for Fresh Dispensary Parsippany, LLC’s application to the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission for a Class 5 recreational dispensary license.
Fresh Dispensary Parsippany had proposed operating at 3159 Route 46 East — a commercial strip that is also home to A2B Indian Veg Restaurant, Fuddruckers, and Days Inn. However, upon further investigation, it was determined that the property sits within 100 feet of a residential lot line, making it non-compliant with municipal zoning regulations under Chapter 119 of the Township Municipal Code.
The Township Attorney recommended that Resolution R2025-200 be rescinded and that support for Fresh’s application to the state be revoked, citing the applicant’s failure to submit a complete and accurate application.
The company behind the dispensary, Fresh Dispensary Parsippany, LLC, lists its registered address as 445 Morris Avenue, Boonton, NJ 07005. Its members include Shoaib Iqbal of Boonton, Luis Manuel Brito of West New York, and George Tsimpedes of Wayne, all listed as Members/Managers.
With the council’s action, Fresh Dispensary Parsippany’s path to obtaining a state cannabis license through municipal support has been effectively closed — at least at the Route 46 location.
