The Joint Corp. Acquires Wisconsin Regional Developer Territory Rights

Enhances Profitability Profile

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), the nation's largest provider of chiropractic care through The Joint Chiropractic network, acquired the regional developer (RD) territory rights for Wisconsin for $950,000 on June 15, 2023.

The demographic modeling for Wisconsin indicates the potential for a total of 53 clinics, including the 21 existing franchised clinics, one clinic in active development and 31 sites for future clinic development.

“Acquiring the regional developer territory rights for Wisconsin will increase the margin contribution within the franchise segment,” said President and Chief Executive Officer of The Joint Corp. Peter D. Holt. “As the composition of our franchise system evolves, we continually evaluate opportunities, balancing increased profitability with the levers to accelerate growth like the RDs program. We thank the regional developers for their contribution to accelerate growth and building the solid foundation for developing the market.”
