Pacific Grove Invites Dispensary Dreams!
PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. — The city of Pacific Grove is officially accepting applications for its first commercial cannabis license, signaling a new opportunity for entrepreneurs eager to open a cannabis dispensary on the Monterey Peninsula. From September 15 to October 15, the city's Planning Division will receive complete applications for the coveted license. Under the city's ordinances, only one cannabis dispensary will be allowed during this initial phase, making the process highly competitive.
City officials say this is a historic step for Pacific Grove. For years, residents had to travel to neighboring cities to shop at a cannabis dispensary, but that could soon change. The single license on offer will permit a storefront cannabis dispensary to operate legally within city limits, bringing regulated products, tax revenue, and new jobs to the community.
The application window reflects Pacific Grove's careful approach to cannabis regulation. By limiting the number of cannabis dispensary licenses, the city hopes to balance consumer access with neighborhood compatibility and public safety. Interested businesses must submit thorough proposals outlining how their cannabis dispensary will comply with state and local rules, from security plans to community engagement strategies.
This move follows a regional trend. In neighboring Monterey, Off The Charts made headlines when its cannabis dispensary opened to enthusiastic customers. That success demonstrated strong local demand for a regulated cannabis dispensary and helped normalize cannabis retail along the Central Coast. Pacific Grove leaders are watching closely, hoping their first cannabis dispensary can replicate Monterey's positive experience.
