Nu Image MedSpa Looks to Canada for Additional Growing Space

Winsted Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: WNSH), a Business Development Company (BDC), and Nu Image MedSpa Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada, jointly announced that Nu Image has received approval from Canada. The Company can now offer and sell franchises to prospective franchisees in Canada with the exception of Ontario and Alberta until other documents get filed. Nu Image MedSpa expects to receive full registration from the remaining two provinces in the near future.

Canada, federated country in North America, is made up of ten provinces and three territories. Canada is a vast nation with a wide variety of geological formations, climates, and ecological systems. It has rain forest, prairie grassland, deciduous forest, tundra, and wetlands. Canada has more lakes and inland waters than any other country. It is renowned for its scenery, which attracts millions of tourists each year. On a per-capita basis, its resource endowments are the second richest in the world after Australia. Canada's prosperity and diversity have encouraged a variety of artistic pursuits. Most major cities have symphony orchestras, opera companies, classical and modern dance groups, and live theater. It has been approximated that by 2070, Canada's population will double from 30 million to 60 million people.

"Canada is the second largest country in the world with close to 4 million square miles of area," stated Winsted CEO Mark Ellis. "The vast majority of Canadians live within 200 miles of the American border. Even with this close proximity and clustering of its residence, there are too many markets for us right now. The two markets which we have selected to sharply focus our resources initially will be Montreal on the east and Vancouver on the west."

Ellis further stated, "Montreal is a city with almost 2 million people. The folks here are very friendly and French-English 'bilinguality' is their mother tongue. Old-world ambiance and elegance distinguish the culture and character of the city. Montreal is one of the most vibrant, exciting locations in North America. Situated in Vaudreuil-Soulanges County, Montreal serves as the economic, educational, and entertainment hub of Eastern Canada. Montreal's strong economy draws some of the best and brightest to call the city home, resulting in one of the most diverse and well-educated populations on the face of the Earth. With so much to offer, newcomers have been beating a path to live in Montreal. Once they arrive, they discover hundreds of miles of shoreline, parklands and green spaces, along with one of the safest and most affordable communities anywhere in the world. It will be our pleasure to serve them with Nu Image medspas."

"The City of Vancouver is a beautiful and vibrant city known for its world-renowned attractions including Granville Island, Robson Street and Stanley Park. The city is located on the west coast of Canada and home to about 2 million people in its greater area. Surrounded by water from three sides, Vancouver's climate is one of the mildest in Canada. Not only is it a physically beautiful place to live, but the city also provides a wide range of services and opportunities. Many of the day-to-day services are provided by the city of Vancouver, while others are the jurisdiction of senior levels of government or other organizations. All of them add to the reasons why Vancouver is one of the best places in the world to live. We're hopeful that this will translate into one of the best places for many Nu Image medspas," concluded Ellis.
