Medifast, Inc.
Medifast's growth throughout the first quarter was primarily attributable to its effective advertising campaign, which increased consumer interest in the Medifast brand. "The Company is very excited about its first quarter revenues," said Michael S. McDevitt, Medifast's President. "The Company expects to see continued growth throughout the remainder of the year from increased advertising initiatives, our Take Shape for Life division and Hi-Energy Weight Control clinics."
In March, the Company announced that it had signed a licensing agreement with a regional drug chain. This agreement between Medifast's Hi-Energy Weight Control Centers and Kerr Drug was featured in the April 4, 2005 issue of Drug Topics Magazine. The centers are part of a "store within a store" program under the clinical pharmacy program. Two stores are set to open this month in the Raleigh, NC area and another is scheduled to open next month in Greensboro, NC. This concept has been receiving wide attention in clinical pharmacy circles within the retail industry.
