5.0Beauty & Personal Care
Canada's longest-running retail vitamin/supplement franchise, founded 1971 in Saskatchewan by Roy Sangster. Ownership has looped back to the founding family twice now: son Darryl Sangster bought it back from Planet Organic in 2010, sold it again around 2017-18 (to EastWest Bioscience), and has since reacquired it a second time. The brand's corporate site is currently mid-relaunch, but individual franchise locations remain open across Western Canada.
