Karma Juice Bar and Eatery celebrates 10-year anniversary and its journey to success

St. Pete's beloved Karma Juice Bar & Eatery is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, but for founder Josie Barber, the landmark anniversary represents much more than a successful restaurant.

Karma Juice Bar and Eatery’s humble beginnings began in 2014 when mother-and-daughter duo, Barber and April Lupkey, opened up shop in downtown St. Pete at 209 1st Street NE, now home to Lily Rose Jewelry Co.

Today, Karma operates two locations in St. Petersburg at 490 1st Avenue South in downtown St. Pete and at 1804 4th Street North. A third outpost is located in Clearwater.

Pinellas County is Florida's densest county with over 920,000 people crammed into 280 square miles. It averages out to around 3,274 people per square mile. Why is this important? Because Pinellas County has simply run out of room. There is very little  land left to be developed, so the main source of future growth has to come from redevelopment.  

St. Petersburg, with nearly 4,000 people per square mile, anchors Pinellas County with close to a quarter of a million residents. Like Pinellas County, St. Petersburg is also built-out. There is little to no room left to build new roads or expand our highways. Therefore increasing density and mass transit are the only way to responsibly continue to grow.
