About

About This Business

Products and Services

Nutritional counseling and weight loss services are provided by Jenny Craig. Jenny Craig states that this family run business has over 50 years experience in the weight loss industry. The company is headquartered in California and owned by Sidney and Jenny Craig. Jenny's career began 30 years ago as a result of having gained 45 pounds during her pregnancy with her youngest daughter. "None of my clothes fit after she was born, so I decided to get back into shape. I became fascinated with the process and worked so hard at losing weight that the owner of the local gym asked me to work for him," Jenny explains. In 1983, having sold the weight loss chain they had owned and operated for more than ten years, Jenny and Sid selected the then untapped market of Australia as their launching point to pioneer the weight loss industry "down under." By 1987, the company had expanded operations from its original nine centers to 100 (57 company owned and 43 franchised), therby making Jenny Craig the biggest weight loss chain in Australia. When operations reached maximum capacity in Australia, Jenny and Sid exported their weight loss business and today operate 30 centers in England and 11 in New Zealand. American operations were launched in 1985. Today Jenny Craig, Inc. operates 337+ centers in most major US markets. The ten-year expansion plan projects over 1000 company owned and franchised Weight Loss Centers in the US by the year 1995. Any problems should be directed to James E. McCormick at the home office in Del Mar, California at (619) 259-7000.
