> PURE WEIGHT LOSS INFORMATION CENTER

Just before Christmas, 2007, Pure Weight Loss (formerly LA Weight Loss) abruptly announced it was closing all its 400 centers nationwide by Jan. 4., 2008. With no notice and little explanation, Pure Weight Loss left thousands of customers without a weight loss program - or the hundreds and even thousands of dollars they prepaid for Pure Weight Loss services and products. Even worse, Pure Weight Loss managers and employees - some who had worked for PWL for years - got to ring in the new year from the unemployment line.

With little to no communication from Pure Weight Loss or its CEO, FranchisePick.Com began posting Pure Weight Loss news, advice and discussions, and established the Pure Weight Loss Refund Information Center . As of January 14, 2008, abandoned Pure Weight Loss members, ex-employees, and industry experts had posted more than 300 comments on FranchisePick.com.

Check back often for the latest news, suggestions, refund information and class action lawsuit status. Media inquiries regarding FranchisePick.com can be directed to Sean Kelly at info[at]ideafarm.net.
