Longevity clinic to launch franchise program in Sarasota

A wellness clinic focused on longevity that started in Jacksonville more than a decade ago has begun franchising, with its first franchisees opening a location in the Sarasota-Manatee area.

Anderson Longevity Clinic was founded by Dr. Brian D. Anderson in 2013 in the back of a gym, where he began providing personalized care to help people live longer, healthier lives, according to a statement. In 2016, he opened the first brick-and-mortar clinic in Jacksonville, and the company has grown in the years since.

Currently, there are six Anderson Longevity Clinic locations, including two in Jacksonville, one in Davie and another in Winter Park. It also has practices in Carmel, Indiana, and Johnston, Rhode Island. The company launched a nationwide franchising program in June.
