About Us | Hamm & Chaz — Jersey City Dispensary

OUR STORY · JAIMEE & CHAZ · WEST SIDE AVE, JERSEY CITY

A dispensary that feels like family.

Hamm & Chaz is what happens when two people who love this plant — and this city — open the shop they always wished existed. Boutique cannabis on West Side Ave, run by the people whose names are on the door, for neighbors from Journal Square to Bergen-Lafayette.

SHOP NOW COME SAY HI

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Cannabis should be bought the way it’s grown — with care, from people you trust.

Not from a vending machine with fluorescent lighting. Not from a menu that needs a translator. From a corner shop where the owners know the growers, the budtenders know the shelf, and everybody knows your name by the second visit.

WHY “HAMM & CHAZ”

Two names. One door. No hiding.

Plenty of dispensaries name themselves after a feeling. We named ours after the two people responsible for it. When your name is on the sign, every jar is a promise — and yes, the initials spelling T·H·C in the logo was entirely on purpose.

THE CORNER

747 West Side Ave

Deep green storefront, hand-painted sign, a sandwich board that tells the truth. We’re minutes from Lincoln Park and the West Side Ave light rail — close enough that half the shop walks here.

HOUSE RULES

Six things we won’t budge on

No judgment, ever

First-timer or connoisseur, big questions or no questions — every person gets the same welcome and the same patience.

Curation over clutter

A shorter shelf where everything earned its spot beats a warehouse where nothing did. Chaz tries it before you can buy it.

Straight answers

Lab results on request, honest opinions on everything, and a hard no on medical claims — we sell good products, not miracles.

Neighborhood first

Local hires, local artists, local causes. The West Side gave us a home; the least we can do is act like we live here. We do.

Fair prices, real deals

$15 Friday, up to 30% off midweek, 20% off your first order, and a loyalty program that treats regulars like family — because boutique shouldn’t mean bougie.

21+ and by the book

IDs checked every visit, packaging stays child-resistant, rules followed to the letter. The legal market only works if it’s worthy of trust.

“EXPERIENCE A HIGHER STANDARD” — IN PRACTICE

The standard isn’t a slogan.

GREETED, NOT PROCESSED

A hello at the door, a name remembered by visit two.

WALKED THROUGH, NOT SOLD TO

The menu at your pace, in your language, at your budget.

TESTED, NOT TRUSTED BLINDLY

Every batch lab-verified; every COA one ask away.

FOLLOWED HOME

Free delivery across Jersey City — the standard travels.

STEP INSIDE

Warm wood, no fluorescent anything

We built the interior to feel like a good record store — warm counters, jars you can actually look at, and people leaning on the counter mid-conversation. Come for the flower, stay because nobody’s rushing you.

LOOK UP

The ceiling is the signature.

A local artist spent weeks on their back — Sistine style — painting the mural that’s become the most photographed square footage in the shop. It’s our nod to the graffiti and street art that raised this city, and the reason first visits start with “whoa.”

THE GLOW

Neon says what we’re all thinking

The sign glows over the shop like a porch light — because that’s the vibe: come as you are, stay a minute, leave happier. Catch it on your way in for the obligatory photo. Everyone does.

OUR CORNER OF THE MAP

Jersey City is the whole point

We’re rooted on the West Side, but the door — and the delivery van — is open to the whole city and beyond. If you’re coming from:

West Side — you’re basically here. See you in five.
Journal Square — ten minutes down JFK Boulevard, worth every one.
The Heights — down the hill, straight to the good stuff.
Bergen-Lafayette — neighbors to the south; delivery hits your block daily.
Downtown JC — skip the tourist shops; the locals’ spot is up here.
Hudson County & beyond — Bayonne, Hoboken, Union City: we deliver.

EXTRA! EXTRA!

Free delivery, front-page news

When we launched delivery, we announced it the neighborhood way — like it belonged in the paper. Rainy Tuesday, busy week, couch already claimed: the shop comes to you daily 12–11, free over $50 across Hudson County and over $75 to Essex, Union, Bergen & Passaic.

HOW DELIVERY WORKS →

GIVING BACK

Good neighbors or nothing

Local walls, local artists

From the ceiling mural to the seasonal window art, Jersey City artists get the commission — every time.

Hired from the block

Our team lives here — which is why the counter conversation starts with “how’s your mom?” as often as “indica or sativa?”

Showing up

Cleanups, fundraisers, little-league raffles — if the West Side is doing it, there’s probably a Hamm & Chaz table.

JOIN THE FAMILY

Love the plant? Love people more?

We grow the team the same way we grow the menu — slowly and on purpose. No experience required; curiosity and kindness are. Tell us who you are and which neighborhood you call home.
