Karen Promotes Wellness
Karen For Good Health, the Sackville-based company that produces the Karen Phytoplankton natural health supplement, is focused on personal wellness. That’s why its sponsorship with the new Eastern Canadian Basketball League is such a perfect fit.
“Sports not only promote active and healthy living, but are also essential to developing a community,” says Tyler Mason, vice-president of Blugenics Innovations, the parent company. “The athletes in the Eastern Canadian Basketball League are role models to the youth in the region,” he adds. “At Karen for Good Health, we want to support all good health – not just the nutritional benefits we provide.”
Blugenics was founded in 2015 by Sackville resident David Hunter and Fitoplancton Marino, a Spanish-based phytoplankton cultivation company. The company employs a staff of 15, all but one in New Brunswick. It started with just one product available in a pharmacy in Sackville. Karen Phytoplankton is now available nationally at Costco, Shopper’s Drug Mart and more than 2,000 other retailers as well as on-line.
Mason says the company is going to expand its line of natural health supplements.
“We are in the early stages of projects on animal supplements, agriculture, biofuels and more,” he adds. “Phytoplankton has amazing potential for humanity and the planet.”
In 1984, Papa Johns Pizza started in the small town of Jeffersonville, Indiana, and its popularity has spread all the way to Atlantic Canada. Today, Papa Johns boasts over 3,600 restaurants and can be found in more than 35 international markets outside of the USA. In Atlantic Canada, we opened our first Papa Johns franchise in Moncton, operating under the name of PJ Atlantic Restaurants Ltd. in 2009.
This was the first of many Papa Johns restaurants to be opening over the next few years to serve the Maritime provinces. We now have a dozen restaurants in the following areas:
639 Mountain Rd., Moncton
555 Dieppe Blvd., Dieppe
