Jenny Craig was born in 1932 in Berwick,
Louisiana. In 1983, she and her husband created a nutrition,
fitness, and weight loss program in Australia. They created Jenny
Craig, Inc. in 1985 and start to offer the program in the United
States. By 1987, the company had established 46 centers in the
United States and 114 in foreign countries.
In 1991, under improved market conditions, Jenny Craig was taken
public, issuing 3.5 million shares at $21 per share. The offering
generated $73.5 million in capital, which was used to satisfy the
company's bank loans and its debt to the investment group. During
this time, the Craigs sold another 1.65 million of their own shares
for $36 million, and the banks and investors garnered $11.5 million
for the 550,000 shares they sold. As a result, the Craigs retained
59 percent of the company, while banks and investors controlled 20
percent and the public claimed 29 percent.
On June 2006 Nestlé reached agreement with a private equity group
including ACI Capital and MidOcean Partners for the acquisition of
Jenny Craig. Nestlé will pay approximately USD 600 million. Through
the collaboration, Jenny Craig team will be able to increase
profitability and implement a number of new strategic initiatives
that position the company for future growth.
Today, Jenny Craig is one of the largest weight management service
companies in the world with more than 650 weight loss centers in the
US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The
Company continue to offer comprehensive weight management programs
that helps people develop a healthy relationship with food, increase
their energy level and build more balance into their lives for
optimal weight loss and well-being.
