The Joint Corp. Enters New Market, Opening the First Clinic in a Series of Six Planned Corporate Clinics
June 09 2021 - 7:05AM
The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), the nation’s largest operator,
manager, and franchisor of chiropractic clinics, opened a new
corporate clinic in Virginia Beach, VA. This is the first of six
greenfield clinics scheduled to open in Virginia in 2021.
“The Joint is accelerating our expansion through franchised
clinic openings and new strategically located corporate greenfield
clinics in clustered locations,” said President and CEO Peter D.
Holt. “We’re delighted to mark our first clinic opening in our
newest market, the Virginia Beach area. This greenfield clinic, the
first in a series of six scheduled to open in a short period of
time, bolsters our position in the Southeast. By expanding our
portfolio, we are increasing our presence as well as our national
brand awareness, which attracts patients, increases demand, and
drives growth.”
The Joint reiterated guidance on May 6 that the company expects
to increase the number of corporate clinics by between 20 and 30 in
2021 through a combination of both opening new greenfield clinics
and acquiring clinics from franchisees. As management drives toward
its goal of 1,000 clinics opened by the end of 2023, openings will
be more heavily weighted to greenfield clinics and less by
franchised clinic acquisitions. The additional 2021 greenfield
clinic openings are targeted for existing clusters in Arizona,
California, and New Mexico.
