SmileDirectClub, the first direct-to-consumer telehealth platform
for teeth straightening, today announced a partnership with Watsons
to increase access to premium clear aligner therapy through the
expansion of SmileShops in Watsons stores with the first locations
in Mong Kok and Kwun Tong in Hong Kong.
With over 7,800 stores in 13 Asian and European markets, Watsons
is Asia’s leading health and beauty retailer and the first retail
partner of SmileDirectClub to launch in-store SmileShops in Asia.
This brings together two market leaders devoted to customer
service.
“Our partnership with Watsons Hong Kong is built on a mutual
commitment to provide a premium and affordable experience,” said
Kay Oswald, President of International at SmileDirectClub. “With
Watsons’s extensive network in Hong Kong, we are delighted to
provide greater access to teeth straightening and enable customers
to transform their smiles in a convenient way, without compromising
top level service from our affiliated network of dentists and
orthodontists.”
The SmileShops at Watsons offer the same patented retail concept
and treatment process available at SmileDirectClub’s U.S. shops and
retail partners, including CVS and Walgreens, as well as Walmart
Canada and Chemist Warehouse in Australia.
Mr. Samuel Lee, Managing Director of Watsons Hong Kong said, “In
view of the rising demand on telehealth solutions and awareness on
digital oral care, we are excited to be the first Asia partner with
SmileDirectClub to launch the in-store SmileShop in Watsons Hong
Kong, providing a convenient and affordable method for personalized
clear aligner treatment that puts a beautiful smile on our
customers’ faces. Along with our integrated online and offline
(O+O) customer experience, strong retail presence and professional
health team, the in-store SmileShops at Watsons will provide our
customers with a one-stop solution for teeth
straightening.”
