Entrepreneur in Guangzhou stretches for success
Waldo Wong said he made the right decision when he opened a physical fitness stretching center in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, more than eight years ago.
Wong said the center, which mainly provides sports rehabilitation and stretching services for local residents, is doing brisk business in the southern metropolis.
Wong, who was born in Hong Kong in 1984, said the emerging sports rehabilitation and stretching service sector actually has great potential in the Chinese mainland, where people have started to pay attention to their health and the number of people with subpar health is increasing.
Wong said his stretching center is the first of its kind in Guangdong, and he has opened five branches in prime locations, employing more than 20 physical therapists and staff members.
"A center can now receive more than 40 people a day," he said.
Wong said he plans to open at least 40 stretching centers in Guangzhou in two years to meet growing demand. He expects to employ more than 200 people within two years. He added that he will consider opening similar stretching centers in other cities in the mainland in coming years after he has met the needs of the market in Guangzhou.
