Saint John, Fredericton & Moncton franchises share award

SAINT JOHN, NB (Tuesday, April 22, 2008) - For the first time in the history of the "Franchisee

of the Year Award", MEDIchair has named MEDIchair Saint John, MEDIchair Fredericton and

MEDIchair Moncton as joint winners of its Franchisee of the Year award for 2007. All three franchises

are owned by Randy McLaughlin. In presenting the awards, MEDIchair COO Bas van Lankvelt

explained that the award is the most prestigious that the Company offers to its franchisees who

operate more than 65 stores across Canada. "It is our highest achievement award and is presented

annually to the franchisee who best exemplifies MEDIchair's core values of care, knowledge, value and

customer service excellence."



"Being named as the national Franchisee of the Year is a collective honour for all three of our stores

in Saint John, Fredericton & Moncton," says franchise owner Randy McLaughlin. "This is an outstanding

team achievement. The award is an acknowledgement of the superior customer service provided

by our 20 employees. Collectively, their compassion, knowledge and dedication to providing the highest

level of service to our customers is the backbone for our business success in all regions of New Brunswick.

We constantly strive to have the best people available from within this industry as part of our growing team,

to service our customer base. It certainly is an honour to be named the 2007 Franchisee of the Year!"



Van Lankvelt added: "To be considered for this honour, a franchise must excel in all areas. They must

provide excellent customer service, which means they provide a satisfying experience for their clients,

and they must truly be ‘Home Medical Equipment Specialists'. They must also demonstrate a history of

development and growth in sales, profitability and market penetration. Finally, franchisees must create

value not only for themselves, but for their staff, their customers, and their peers. Franchisees are the

key ingredient making MEDIchair great! Under the leadership of owner Randy McLaughlin, MEDIchair

Saint John, MEDIchair Fredericton and MEDIchair Moncton have done a stellar job. Collectively and

individually they are worthy of the title Franchisee of the Year."
