The Joint Corp. (Nasdaq:JYNT), the fastest growing
chiropractic franchise, recently announced aggressive expansion
plans for the state of Washington, with goals to open more than 20
locations in the coming years.
To facilitate this growth, The Joint welcomes Kevin Kelly, Fred
Auzenne and Faith Clinkenbeard as the new regional developers for
the state of Washington, excluding the Vancouver area and including
Kootenai County, Idaho. The group will assist with upwards of 20
new clinics statewide in addition to helping support the existing
three The Joint clinics located in the Seattle area. They also plan
to open and manage multiple clinics themselves.
The regional developer team is comprised of four partners who
bring years of franchise ownership and experience in consulting and
financial services.
“We all love health and wellness membership-based businesses,”
says Kelly. “The Joint has a simple business model that provides
patients with quality care; I know, because I’ve been an extremely
happy patient of The Joint for years.”
The Joint’s concept is one Kelly and his business partners
believe in.
“The business model brings order and balance to the seemingly
chaotic chiropractic industry,” Kelly explains. “The low-cost, high
value proposition make it attractive for both the franchisee and
the patient. Additionally, chiropractors finally have the
opportunity to focus on what they love, relieving their patients of
pain, without the many hassles of dealing with the insurance
industry. Patients who want regular chiropractic care, but may not
be able to afford maintenance care, will find The Joint as their
answer.”
Kelly is a former fighter pilot. He served a combined 25 years
for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force. In addition to being a
multi-unit operator for Planet Fitness locations in Washington and
Arizona, Kelly works with many large companies and is a
leadership/management consultant.
Auzenne has a strong history as an entrepreneur. He’s currently
involved in several ventures, including managing an Entrepreneur
Opportunity Fund that initiates debt and equity placements into
small and medium-sized stage companies, investing in commercial
real estate projects and consulting with small business startups.
He also serves as chief executive officer of The Legacy Group and
Quantum Wellness Botanical Institute and the chief revenue officer
of Flipping Wall Street. The Legacy Group offers comprehensive
sales and marketing consulting services for businesses that want to
use franchising as their business model for expansion, while
Flipping Wall Street is a technology and marketing company
specializing in stock trading software and Quantum Wellness
Botanical Institute sells plant-based nutritional
supplements.
Clinkenbeard has a background as a restaurateur with the
Maestros Group with a heavy focus on management and customer
service. She was drawn to The Joint because the concept is one that
aligns with her personal values of helping people. Clinkenbeard is
originally from Bellevue, Washington.
