Annapolis and Gaithersburg Centers Join Current Bel Air and Pikesville Locations
OWINGS MILLS, Md., June 15 -- Medifast, Inc. (NYSE: MED) today announced the grand opening of two new Medifast Weight Control Center locations in Annapolis, Md., and Gaithersburg, Md. The new 1,551-square-foot Annapolis Medifast Weight Control Center is located at the Festival at Riva, 2331-C Forest Drive, Annapolis, MD 21401. The new 1,200-square-foot Gaithersburg Medifast Weight Control Center is located at the Kentlands at Market Square, 120 Market Street, Gaithersburg, MD 20878.
The core of the Medifast Weight Control Center concept is one-on-one counseling with a trained staff. A counselor helps each client design a personal program based on their lifestyle. Together, the counselor and client determine an achievable weight-loss program based on a personal profile analysis and an in-body scan that shows exactly where the fat is and how much weight the client needs to lose, so there is no guessing.
Medifast Weight Control Centers offer the Medifast Program, which has been recommended by over 20,000 doctors since 1980. Medifast Weight Control Centers offer a proven, safe, and effective option for clients who need personal support during their weight loss.
"Maryland has proven to be a successful market and we're excited to increase the Medifast Weight Control Centers' strong presence here," said Michael S. McDevitt, Chief Executive Officer of Medifast, Inc. "The Medifast Weight Control Centers model is growing at a tremendous rate as we now have 29 corporately owned Centers and 20 franchise-owned Centers currently operating."
Medifast's corporately owned Centers are located in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Tx., Baltimore, Md., and Orlando, Fl. Franchised locations of Medifast Weight Control Centers are currently operating in Minneapolis, Mn., Phoenix, Az., Birmingham, Ala., and San Diego and East Bay, Ca.
"The focus of Medifast Weight Control Centers is to offer a clinically proven, fast weight-loss program to our clients," said Joseph J. DiBartolomeo, Ph.D., Senior V.P. of Medifast Weight Control Centers. "In fact, our clients can expect to lose up to two to five pounds per week in addition to receiving one-on-one support, weekly motivation and In-Body Analysis."
