Nestle to buy Jenny Craig for $600 million

Nestlé enters weight management market - Jenny Craig acquisition enhances Group's nutrition, health and wellness dimension

Again I say what doesn't Nestle own. Nestle is rapidly expanding its nutrition line by acquiring weight management company Jenny Craig. The company currently owns Lean Cuisine and makes a ton of money off of that. And guess what? It will now make more money on Jenny Craig meal replacements. This is the first time that I have seen Nestle use Person Marketing, in this case Queen Latifah, in any of the companies many product lines.

Nestle's nutrition line of products is growing. Since acquiring Lean Cuisine, it only made sense for Nestle to acquire a large weight management company like Jenny Craig.
