Medichair Thunder Bay Wins National Franchisee Of The Year Award

THUNDER BAY , ON (Wednesday, March 28, 2007) - MEDIchair is pleased to announce that MEDIchair Thunder Bay has been selected as the 2006 Franchisee of the Year among the organization's 60+ franchise stores across Canada. The Franchisee of the Year Award is MEDIchair's highest
achievement award and is presented annually to the franchisee that best exemplifies MEDIchair's core values of care, knowledge, value and customer service excellence.

"Jim Migliazza and Barb Ceresino have done an outstanding job with the growth and expansion of their franchise territory in 2006," explains Bas van Lankvelt, COO MEDIchair. "They have
excelled in every category."

Van Lankvelt added, "In addition to experiencing outstanding growth, MEDIchair Thunder Bay opened two new facilities to better service customers in northwestern Ontario. This included a new store in Geralton as well as expanding their operations in Thunder Bay with a second location specializing in retail products and software goods.

Van Lankvelt was quick to point out that the franchise also took a lead role in the ongoing education and personal growth of its 11 employees. "MEDIchair Thunder Bay also played a key role nationally with other franchise owners through activities such as information sharing
and mentoring that benefited the entire franchisee network."

"We were blown away with this award," says Co-owner Jim Migliazza. "It is truly a great honour and one that we will cherish for a long time."

"The kudos for this award are not just for management," adds Co-owner Ceresino.
"The Home Medical Equipment business is all about team work and customer relationships.

Without our community oriented, employees and their hands on, one-to-one approach to customer care, this award would not have been possible."
