I apologize if this has already been covered, but I remember when everyone was reporting on which LA centers were closing. I personally thought they were all gone. (They all closed in the Nashville area where I lived.) However, I just recently moved back to East TN and was surprised to discover they have 3 in Knoxville and another one in Maryville. I understand they are franchised owned and seem to be doing quite well. Are these the only ones in TN? Also, I would be interested to hear in what other states they are still operating. Thanks.

there is still one in sioux falls, sd. infact, they just called me again to come back and restart..they called me for the first time in a year the day after I had my baby in april!

I keep hearing that it was the corporate offices that had trouble. How are they different from the franchises? And how do you know the difference?

Jillian- Wow, that's a long time before calling you. Maybe they were just waiting until all the bad press died down. Thanks for the info.

Diane- The only way I know the difference between franchise and corporate is the employees tell me at the center. When I lived in Nashville, the center I went to INSURED me that they wouldn't be closing because they were a franchise. But, they all closed anyway.
The lady I spoke to at the Knoxville center told me they were a franchise and all the Knoxville area centers were owned by the same guy. She said they were slow during the bad press, but about 4 months ago they picked up and have been doing great ever since.
