(OTC Pinksheets: HRAL)—HearAtLast Holdings Inc. announced today that it has received its 14th license from Wal-Mart Canada Corp., a division of Wal-Mart International, Inc. (NYSE: WMT) to open their 14th hearing-aid clinic in Wal-Mart Store #3048 located at 3700 Mayor Magrath Drive South, in Lethbridge, Alberta. This expansion is a direct result of the Company exercising its option under a master licensing agreement with Wal-Mart Canada Corp. which allows HearAtLast to open hearing aid clinics within numerous Wal-Mart locations throughout Canada. The Lethbridge location will officially open tomorrow Wednesday November 14, 2007.
“The new Lethbridge location will be the third HearAtLast clinic we open in the Alberta Province this month. We are very excited to be opening this new location on the heels of the launch of our two Edmonton stores last week,” stated Robert Oswald, President of HearAtLast. “We received some great press coverage thanks to our official spokesperson Walter Gretzky making appearances at the Edmonton grand openings. Now we are ready to go to Lethbridge as the city is located close to the U.S. border and this is of great interest to us.”
The addition of the Lethbridge store brings the current count of HearAtLast clinics co-located in Wal-Mart Stores to 14 stores in Canada, and the 3rd location in the Alberta area.
