L A Weight Loss Centers, Inc. Announces Name Change to Pure Weight Loss, Inc.

Posted on: Thursday, 23 August 2007, 18:13 CDT

HORSHAM, Pa., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The country's largest weight loss chain that offers both one-on-one counseling and the option to eat your own food is changing its name to Pure Weight Loss, Inc. from L A Weight Loss Centers, Inc.

Three years ago the company was divided in half with one owner taking control of all corporate owned and operated centers (L A Weight Loss Centers, Inc.) and the other became the franchisor of the franchise owned centers. Since then the two separate companies have grown in different directions with distinctly different program changes, cultures and business methods. Because of this, the corporate owned and operated centers have changed their name to Pure Weight Loss.

"There was a lot of confusion in the marketplace because you had two different companies with the same name operating their businesses differently. By changing our name to Pure Weight Loss, we now have complete control over our brand and reputation. We chose 'Pure' because it better represents our focus and mission to offer healthy and effective weight loss programs to the public", said Vahan Karian, Chairman and CEO of Pure Weight Loss, Inc., formerly L A Weight Loss Centers, Inc.

I was an LA weight loss client in WA State. I have no complaints, and I felt I got my money's worth. However, I have a question. I can't find an answer. When my location closed in July 07, I bought up a stash of Slimdown drinks at 1/2 price. Now I have kidney disease and can no long have milk or chocolate. My cartons have no expiration date and I need to know if they are still good so that I can give them to my gdaughters and know they are safe. They are thick and have to be squeezed out. They smell and taste OK. I had an occasional carton like that while I was on the program. But I'm wondering if these are too old. Please let me know. Thanks rozemaryf@aol.com
