Cotton Mouth

Cottonmouth Dispensary was founded by Matthew Holcombe and Alyssa Pizzo, two New Jersey natives who started their cannabis journey in 2020 after graduating college at age 21. The duo first cut their teeth in Washington D.C., where they launched Cottonmouth Coaching, a delivery service that quickly became one of the top-rated cannabis delivery companies in the area.After building their business for over two years, Matthew and Alyssa decided to bring their expertise back home to New Jersey when the Garden State began licensing recreational retailers. The founders secured their New Jersey recreational dispensary license as a Social Equity Applicant, demonstrating their commitment to cannabis justice reform.In 2024, Cottonmouth opened its flagship 9,100 square foot dispensary in Runnemede, New Jersey, strategically located near major bridges and the NJ Turnpike for maximum accessibility. What started as a two-person delivery operation has evolved into South Jersey's most innovative cannabis destination, combining premium products with live entertainment and artistry.

Cottonmouth operates from their flagship location in Runnemede, New Jersey, serving customers daily from 8am to 9pm with 72 parking spaces and convenient pickup window service. Their comprehensive product lineup includes flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vaporizers, concentrates, tinctures, topicals, smoking accessories, and glass artwork.What sets Cottonmouth apart is their unique indoor glass studio where visitors can witness live flameworking demonstrations by local and world-renowned artists. The facility features an adjacent glass gallery showcasing both handcrafted masterpieces and budget-friendly production pieces.The dispensary accepts cash payments with two on-site ATMs (3.5% fee) and offers a robust loyalty program called "Cottonmouth Club" where customers earn 1 point per dollar spent, with every 100 points converting to $5 in credit. Members receive exclusive promotions, early access to new releases, and invitations to their regular outdoor events featuring live music, food trucks, and educational pop-ups.
