Press Releases

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ:JYNT), a national healthcare operator and franchisor of chiropractic clinics, today announced plans for further aggressive corporate expansion in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, California and entry into the Chicago market. This initiative is in accordance with the Company's strategy to expand its brand presence nationally by developing and operating company-owned or managed clinics in concentrated clusters.  

The Joint Corp. signed six new leases and expects to open approximately 12 new company-managed clinics by the end of 2015 in Los Angeles/ Orange County, California, the second largest metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the country. The opening of these clinics will bring the total number of franchised and corporate clinics to approximately 24 in the Los Angeles/ Orange County market by the end of 2015. In addition, the Company has signed four leases and expects to open four company-managed clinics by the end of 2015 for its entry into the Chicago market, the country's third largest MSA. These clinics will open in concentrated clusters consistent with the Company's strategy to maximize market and brand impact and increase operational efficiencies.

Frank Joyce, chief financial officer of The Joint Corp., commented, "These planned clinic openings, together with previously opened and acquired clinics in Los Angeles; Orange County, California; San Diego; Tucson and Phoenix, mark significant milestones in our initiative to open new corporate clinics in 2015."

To help enable this aggressive growth strategy David Orwasher will transition from president and chief operating officer to the newly created position of chief development and strategy officer. Orwasher will focus solely on the Company's aggressive growth plans. In his new role, Orwasher will assume responsibility for a variety of additional strategic initiatives designed to expand the Company's business footprint and effectiveness. This includes working with Dr. James Edwards, the Company's chief chiropractic and compliance officer, to develop The Joint Corp.'s reputation within the chiropractic community. Orwasher will continue to report to John B. Richards, chief executive officer of The Joint Corp.

"I am pleased to have David focused on this critical expansion role where his previous industry-leading development experience at Starbucks will continue to bring great benefit and expertise to our aggressive growth plans," stated Mr. Richards.
