Leading U.S. Medical Weight Loss and Wellness Franchise Will Open 10 Locations in Dubai, UAE

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) January 29, 2013 - Medi-Weightloss Clinics® announced today a Master Franchise Agreement has been issued for international brand expansion in Dubai, UAE. Medi-Weightloss Clinics® opened its first clinic in 2006 and began franchising in 2008. A high growth rate propelled the brand. Today there are 86 locations in 21 states with recognition including ranking in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500, INC.’s list of 5,000 fastest growing private companies, and the Gulf Coast Business Review.

"We are excited about the tremendous opportunity internationally," says Edward Kaloust, Medi-Weightloss Clinics® Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "I founded Medi-Weightloss Clinics® with hopes of providing a sound program for medical providers to combat the United States obesity epidemic. I’ve realized there is a global demand for healthy obesity treatment.”

Why Dubai? Over the past two decades Dubai’s population has grown by 200 percent. Waistlines are growing with the population. The UAE ranks as the fifth fattest nation, according to a recent study published by a BMC Public Health journal. Dubai’s youth are also in need: over 32 percent of schoolchildren in Dubai are overweight or obese, latest statistics from a Beat Obesity Campaign reveals.

Kaloust has received numerous international prospects but he didn’t feel comfortable franchising the brand until he found the right team in the right market. “Our success internationally is largely dependent on those we entrust to introduce the brand to their home markets. We found partners in Dubai we feel will do it correctly. Protecting the brand and trademarks are key to longevity and preserving ours and our franchisees’ investments,” says Kaloust.

What’s next? The Master Franchise Agreement will produce at least 10 locations in Dubai. Kaloust is currently entertaining other international prospects and may launch a global expansion strategy for rapid growth within the next five years.
