Sacramento Bee:
As businesses nationwide increasingly turn to preventive care and wellness programs as a way to control spiraling health care costs, Star Wellness is positioning itself to meet that growing demand by opening as many as 10 new franchises in the coming year.
The growth will be accomplished primarily through franchising, beginning in Texas and the Southwest then expanding throughout the U.S. with a goal of opening 100 new franchises within four years.
Star Wellness currently offers wellness and preventive care screening services to more than 230 businesses, local governments and school systems in 20 states. In October, Star Wellness franchise veteran Michael Manor was named CEO of Star Wellness Franchising to spearhead the growth. The first franchise agreement was signed within three months and begins servicing clients this month.
