Nanuet Healthy Weight-loss Business to Reopen Wednesday

After being closed for almost three months, Weight Watchers is reopening with a newly designed store.

“Our center, which had been closed while undergoing a complete renovation, will be re-opening to the public on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 8 a.m,” said Angelica McQuade, a Weight Watchers International Leader & Ambassador, adding that there will be a ribbon cutting at 8:30 a.m. “We will be having a grand-opening event in early March with give-aways and exciting success stories as well.”

Located in the Pathmark Shopping Center, Weight Watchers closed the first week of December 2011 and the newly-designed place will be a modern, yet welcoming and comfortable environment—117 Rockland Center E. Rt 59 Nanuet.

"We are thrilled to deliver the POINTSPLUS®2012 program in such a contemporary and convenient setting to support area residents in their efforts in making smart, healthy and satisfying choices to lose weight," said local Weight Watchers Territory Manager, Leslie DelCastillo.

Another change is that the business used to only be open during its meeting times, but now will have regular store hours, M-F 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and its weekend hours will match that of surrounding businesses.

Weight Watchers encourages everyone to stop in anytime to learn more about Weight Watchers, ask questions, purchase memberships or simply shop for Weight Watchers products designed to support a healthier lifestyle. Members can also weigh in at their convenience in a way that is more discrete than ever before.

"Meetings continue to be an important part of how Weight Watchers helps members reach their goals,” said DelCastillo. “In fact, people who attend meetings lose three times more weight than those who try to lose weight on their own. We welcome people to stop in anytime for a tour of our new location or to visit a meeting for free".

This new store design in Nanuet is one of over 600 being opened across the country this year.
