    Nutrisystem

    Nutrisystem (NASDAQ: NTRI), headquartered in Horsham, Pennsylvania, is a company that produces weight loss products. In the beginning, the Company focused on a retail store presence offering weight loss counseling as well as a food-based weight loss program. In 1999, the Company moved to a direct-to-consumer business model, selling its products over the Internet, through a company 800 number, through retail outlets and through the “QVC” television home shopping network.http://www.qvc.com/cgen/render.aspx?qpclass|4813 Once the product is ordered, it is delivered directly to the customer’s home.

    In 2008 NutriSystem Inc. announced that it had begun marketing its weight-loss programs in Canada. The Company set up a Canadian subsidiary, NutriSystem Canada, which sells products and services through its own Web site, toll-free number and Canada’s home shopping network channel, “Today’s Shopping Channel”. Its meals are largely the same as NutriSystems meals, but packaged differently.http://philadelphia.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2007/12/31/daily12.html
