MISSISSAUGA, ON, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- tario -
HearAtLast Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HRAL) is pleased to announce
the grand opening of two new clinics in Southern Ontario. These two
new Hearing Stores are located in Burlington, Ontario and
Scarborough East, Ontario. These new clinics are part of the new
wellness model being launched by Wal-Mart Canada in Select
locations This new wellness model features an entirely new approach
to healthcare encompassing vision pharmacy and a walk-in medical
clinic along with HearAtLast as the hearing provider. This medical
access approach will certainly benefit both the patient and
HearAtLast as simple issues like ceruman management and third party
sign off will be much more convenient for the patient with a
physician nearby. The current process of inconveniencing patients
for third party signoff can be drastically reduced by working with
the physicians within the store. These openings also puts
HearAtLast on the cusp of being Canada's largest wholly-owned chain
of Hearing Stores. Other operators such as Listen Up has 30
locations, Helix with 23 locations was sold earlier this month sold
for $23.7M. Beltone hearing clinics has 30 locations and Island
Acoustics has 45 locations although many of these locations are
satellite locations. "We are very proud of our growth and progress
in the short time that we have been developing our Hearing Stores
and we will continue in our development expansion to become
Canada's leader and largest Hearing Store", commented HearAtLast's
