DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (Business Wire EON) June 19, 2008 --
World Wide Child Care Corp. (Pink Sheets:WWCC) subsidiary Children of
America’s real estate department recently
participated in the Global Retail Real Estate Convention in Las Vegas
hosted by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). The
annual convention is the world’s largest
professional real estate event.
As part of Children of America’s strategic
growth initiative to establish cooperative partnerships with the real
estate industry’s top shopping centers, the
team met with more than 100 representatives to discuss 150 new
properties.
“Everyone we met at the ICSC convention was
impressed with what Children of America has to offer as shopping center
owners and developers realize the value that a leading childcare center
brings to their sites,” said Thad Pryor,
president and CEO. “Just as we are partners
with parents in creating an environment rich in love and learning, we
are also aligning ourselves with dedicated real estate professionals to
open our centers in the best, safest locations possible. We have
developed an aggressive expansion plan that will nearly triple the
number of our locations by the end of 2009.”
Children of America currently operates 16 childcare facilities in
Pennsylvania and Virginia and is slated to open nine additional centers
in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania by the end
of the year. The company has signed 40 leases over the past year and
anticipates signing 50 additional leases slated for execution in 2009
that will launch the opening of several new markets including Colorado,
Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio and
Wisconsin.
