In a major milestone for the local community, Baked Goodz has become East Orange’s first fully Black-owned cannabis dispensary. The opening represents both progress and empowerment within the growing landscape of Black entrepreneurship.
Located in the heart of East Orange, Baked Goodz is more than a retail space—it is a symbol of resilience, ownership, and innovation. The founders have built a business rooted in quality products, education, and community engagement.
A Vision Realized
