Another New Business Opens In Centerbrook This Weekend

CENTERBROOK, CT — With the intention of starting a healthy new business, that offers a plentiful array of nutritious meal replacement protein and weight loss shakes, energy teas and even protein coffees, Jamie Bickelhaupt is excited to open the doors to Elite Nutrition on Saturday, March 13. Housed in the same complex as Nutmeg Pharmacy, Centerbrook Cheese Shop and Bob’s Centerbrook Liquor Store, Elite Nutrition is located at 33 Main Street in Centerbrook.

Bickelhaupt, who is running the new business, is no stranger to nutrition and wellness. A lifetime athlete, who is the coach of the Valley Regional High School girls’ basketball team, and played basketball in high school and college, she knows a thing or two about keeping one’s body in tip-top shape, by way of good nutrition.

In addition, Bickelhaupt teaches business at VRHS, so she is also well versed in the ins and out of successful business strategy and is hopeful that her new endeavor is supported by the community she has grown to love over the past four years of working in the tri-towns.

Bickelhaupt will be selling Herbalife Nutrition Products, offering a full medley of meal replacement shakes, energy teas and protein coffees for the athlete in all of us.

“Our products are designed to help people live a healthy lifestyle,” she said. “There is something for everybody.”

The shakes are designed to be a full meal replacement and can help people lose weight, as well as help others gain muscle and weight. The low-calorie teas, which will be offered in both hot and cold options, are packed with natural energy elements, as well as, digestion aids, with b12, probiotic and aloe options, and the protein coffees are designed to give customers a burst of energy, as well as, satisfying feeling.

For now, offerings will be mostly grab and go, but Bickelhaupt has future plans, depending on Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines, of bringing in tables and barstools to the new business, so it can become a place where customers can enjoy a healthy beverage with friends.
