Jenny Craig, With 6 GA Locations, Is Shutting Down: Report

GEORGIA — Jenny Craig, a weight loss and management company, will soon close its doors, according to internal documents obtained by NBC News.

The company told workers in an email late Tuesday it would close "due to its inability to secure additional financing," according to the report. The last day for corporate and field employees who are salaried will be May 5, the news outlet reported. The last day for center workers who are hourly was Tuesday.

Jenny Craig has the following Georgia locations:

• 4482 Commerce Drive, Suite 117 - Buford
• 3220 Cobb Parkway, Suite 206 - Vinings/Atlanta
• 2625 Piedmont Rd. N.E., Suite 46 - Buckhead/Atlanta

• 50 Barrett Pkwy. - Marietta
• 4101 Roswell Road, Suite 807 - Marietta

Based in Carlsbad, California, Jenny Craig has about 500 company-owned and franchised locations across the country. The Jenny Craig program helps give people structure and support as they try to lose weight, and helps them learn how to keep it off. The program provides nutritional meals such as entrées, desserts and snacks, as well as individual coaching.

Jenny Craig and her late husband, Sid, opened their first Jenny Craig Weight Loss Center in 1983.

The chain had warned of mass layoffs and said it could close its corporate offices as early as Friday, WPVI reported Monday. The company told employees it was transitioning to an e-commerce model, according to the TV station.
