It’s another cannabis market win for Central Jersey.
Leaf Haus will have a grand-opening celebration Aug. 17, as it becomes the third legal weed shop to open to customers 21 and over in Somerset County.
The store is located at 900 Easton Ave, Suite 18 in Franklin Township’s Somerset Village shopping center, next to H&R Block.
Leaf Haus is a small store with a large product selection to choose from.
The dispensary carries brands such as Classix, The Botanist, 777, Airo, Verano, Ozone and the hard-to-find brand Tyson. They even have sample packs of the 1906 brand plant-based pills.
Cannabis products, accessories for storage and smoking, and ancillary products are featured in display cases along the walls of the sales floor.
There is a cashier counter with six high-tech stations.
Owner Shani Madaminova said her staff represents the diversity of Garden State residents.
“We’re very involved with the community. We serve about every nationality you can think of,” Madaminova said. “Our staff speaks so many languages — Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French, Hebrew, Ukrainian, Russian, Uzbek, Turkish, Creole, Tagalog — like every language possible. We employ every nationality that is represented in the state of New Jersey.”

The grand-opening on Aug. 17 is from noon-4 p.m., with music, merchandise, food and entertainment planned.
