Minority Owned AC Leef Dispensary Opens on the Edge of Atlantic City

AC Leef dispensary Atlantic City

AC Leef dispensary is making a name for itself on the edge of the party capital of New Jersey, Atlantic City.

Fun fact, Atlantic City now has more dispensaries than casinos. You can try to keep count as you drive around the city and on your way to AC Leef.

The yellow-painted walls hold beautiful paintings for sale. Van Gogh-like cityscapes and abstract portraits hang overhead to add to AC Leef’s great vibe.

Local artists are also highlighted on the walls.

The interior of the dispensary has impressive giant tile-like counters to order at. Behind are prominent glass cases with bongs, pipes, and more goodies. Friendly bud-tenders helped place our order, and the surrounding walls of pretty artwork made the waiting worthwhile.

Products at AC Leef

The 21+ dispensary store offers popular cannabis brands and an impressive lineup of products to meet customer needs.

The selection of rotating staff picks on the company’s website is a great way to see what the employees recommend. Recent AC Leef bud-tender suggestions are Kynd flower and oil product from Revelry. They even offer Bango Elyon, a brand from Northern California. In addition, brands like Fernway and Prolific are available at competitive prices.

Cannabis consumers and unofficial patients can also find restorative transdermal lotions, used for joint pain and relief. It can also be applied to painful sunburns, a common fate for many of us after a trip to the Jersey Shore.

The recreational dispensary in South Jersey has a rewards program for deals and updates at AC Leef. AC Leef also holds several raffles, as they enjoy doing giveaways back to the community. Check out their Instagram for more.

AC Leef Dispensary Background

AC Leef is led by Chris Aponte and Miguel Lugo. After receiving their micro-dispensary license from the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJCRC) in February 2023, the two got to work bringing the store to life. Locally owned and rooted in quality, the dispensary isn’t one to miss.

A positive and inclusive message on their website says, “Our dedication to customer experience is at the heart of everything we do. From the moment customers walk through our doors, they are welcomed into a space that is friendly, informative, and judgment-free. We understand that every customer is unique, and we prioritize providing personalized, knowledgeable support to help each individual make confident and informed choices.”

AC Leef is very involved in the community and bringing folks together. They were a big part of the Memorial Day Bud Crawl and joined in on the exciting annual AC tradition. All summer long, the dispensary is hosting events that invite fun and encourage the growing cannabis space.

Social Equity Valued

Social equity is a major aspect of AC Leef’s philosophy, for which it has been previously honored. The minority-owned business was showcased at an NJ Cannabis Insider conference in October 2023 before they downsized their operations.

The inspiring rise of AC Leef is like the Rocky movies. Going up against the big leagues as an underdog and making an impact while doing so. In the past two years, it’s inspiring to see the progress made in making cannabis a more diverse space bit by bit.
