Profile by Sanford Comes to Tampa
Franchise site to open in the Westshore area on December 26.
Tampa, FL, December 19, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Profile® by Sanford®, the comprehensive lifestyle change service developed by Sanford Health, is coming to Tampa Bay. Opening on Wednesday, December 26, at 128 South Westshore Boulevard, Suite C, in the Westshore area of Tampa, this marks Profile’s first location in the bay area. To celebrate, Profile is offering a year-long membership for just $50 to the first 150 members through December 31, 2018.
Through its physician-backed model, Profile is changing the way people approach weight loss. Each member receives a personalized nutrition, activity, and lifestyle coaching program designed to help members lose weight and keep it off. Setting the program apart from other diet plans, Profile provides its members with genetic testing, which analyzes how their bodies metabolize carbohydrates, and also matches each member with a Certified Profile Coach to help guide their weight loss journey.
Tampa franchise partner Betsy Shafer is a 20-year veteran of debt investment banking, having spent the last 15 years with Raymond James and Associates based in St. Petersburg. The driving force behind the decision to bring Profile to Tampa was Shafer’s desire to invest in something she was passionate about that could have a positive impact on others. Along with her husband and business partner Rick, Shafer plans to open three Profile by Sanford locations and is excited to continue Profile’s expansion throughout Tampa Bay. A grand opening for the Westshore location will be held on Thursday, January 10, from 4 PM to 7 PM.
“After spending a career analyzing investments and structuring transactions for others, I decided it was time to make an investment of my own and Profile by Sanford was my top pick. I believe in healthy living, and I want to help others reach their health and wellness goals. There’s nothing like Profile in this area, and we’re looking forward to introducing it to Tampa,” said Shafer.
