TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jack Nathan Medical Corp. (TSXV: JNH, OTCQB: JNHMF) (“Jack Nathan Health”, “JNH” or the “Company”) and Wal-Mart Canada Corp. (“Walmart Canada”) announced today that they have signed a new Credit Facility and new licensed locations to drive rapid expansion of new additional Jack Nathan Medical Clinics across Canada.

Jack Nathan Health is an independent provider of medical clinics located in Walmart Canada stores under the Jack Nathan Health brand.

Jack Nathan will begin immediately to design, build, independently own and operate new clinics in several new and existing Walmart Canada locations. Previously announced locations in Edmonton, Alberta and Victoria, British Columbia are already under construction.

The new strategic plan strengthens the Company’s ongoing relationship with Walmart Canada by way of a supportive Credit Agreement related to each new clinic that will provide financing for significant capital expenditures to build out each location. The lender under the Credit Agreement is Walmart Canada, advances under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum and the quantum of advances under the Credit Agreement is subject to the number of new license locations that is subject to the Credit Agreement from time to time. Eleven new medical clinic locations within Walmart Canada retail stores are scheduled to be built in 2022, with an accelerated plan in the coming years for additional locations. Jack Nathan’s clinics will provide family and urgent care medical services as well as an array of specialty medical programs and paramedical services including MedSpa and Rehab in key market locations or strategic clinical locations.

This innovative arrangement between the two companies is a catalyst for rapid expansion and growth in a sector that is currently underserviced in many parts of the country. Walmart Canada has 402 locations and Jack Nathan is currently present in 76 locations, which provides immediate opportunity for several new clinics to open.

“We’re very excited about opening more Jack Nathan Health Medical Clinics in more Walmart stores across Canada,” said Sam Hamam, senior director of licensees for Walmart Canada. “Walmart Canada is committed to making healthcare and wellness more accessible in the communities we serve, and helping our customers live better, every day.”

We are proud to turn over this new page in our Company to transform medical and paramedical services in Canada with one of the world’s best retailers. This is the beginning of a bright new future for Jack Nathan. Walmart Canada’s commitment to Jack Nathan shows how steadfast Walmart Canada is, to provide easy access, omni-channel healthcare to millions of Canadians.
