LA WEIGHT LOSS CLOSING RUMORS Friday, Oct. 17

News and rumors of closings erupted this morning, as did rumor of an impending announcement from corporate of closings of LA Weight Loss Centers nationwide. Here’s what our readers report:
Denise:

Latest Of LA Weightloss: Oceanside center is closing as well. It is so hard to believe that they are all closing. This program has been my life saver and now it’s gone. I called in to get my file and they are not allowed to give them out as they are property of LA Weightloss. I thank all employees at the Escondido branch for all their help and support. I lost 40lbs and have 44 more to go.

I believe Vancouver and the Salmon Creek, Washington centers will be closing too. The Vancouver manager was recently fired (as she should have been a year ago) and the Salmon Creek manager may be asked to over see both centers. I think they are merging to close soon as they also closed another center not 20 miles north of Salmon Creek. They are showing all the same signs and red flags that you can read about all over the internet, that warn of a closure in the near future. Get out while you can. They are not a trustworthy company. The plan is most excellent tho’. Hilary

I was told this morning that all Wisconsin centers are closing. When I asked about a financial refund, I was given a blank stare followed by the response that I will probably be losing my money. I had a feeling this was coming as they hours and days were continually cut and they cannot keep a staff.

According to a report from vendors of LA Corporate, they’ll be announcing on Friday, Oct. 17th that the Franchise Corporation and all LATO centers will be closing effective immediately.
The source of this report was a senior LA Weight Loss executive…so this is not a rumor or speculation.
There was not mention of how this would immediately affect franchisees, but since they count on corporate for products, and most count on them for advertising production and even media buying and placement, it’s unlikely they could continue, or would want to continue under the LA Weight Loss name.

Yes, Tom is right. Goldsboro and New Bern, NC are both losing their LAWL franchised centers. The announcement is to be made tomorrow the 17th of October. I picked up all of my prepaid bars today, but still have 9 months worth of one on one counseling due to me. I am furious! Like a previous poster stated they are stealing out money. IMO they are in breech of contract and should refund that money. No if, and’s or but’s about it.
