ROCKLAND, Maine — A New Brunswick man is a few weeks away from opening a lobster storage and processing plant in Rockland’s Industrial Park that will add jobs and provide another place for lobstermen to sell their catches.
Frank Benoit said he chose Rockland because he has an existing business relationship with J & J Lobster that has been selling him lobsters for the past two years.
Benoit operates a lobster processing plant in New Brunswick that employs 240 people. He has operated Les Pecheries de Chez Nous Ltd. for 12 years in Tracadie-Sheila. His products go under the name of Capitaine Frank.
He has been in the fishing business for more than 30 years.
