Upcoming reopening of the City Walk center
Renovation of the City Walk center is underway. This center that was due for a refurbishment this year was closed following flooding in April 2024 and should reopen before the end of the summer. The repairs are covered by the insurer, and, beyond the renovation work, a total modernization of the center is ongoing. With City Walk center being the oldest in the Smart Salem portfolio, this refurbishment and modernization of the center will enable Smart Salem to deliver higher quality of service to its customers.
The insurer is also progressing with a loss of earnings claim for the company. The amount will be finalized in the coming weeks.
Continuous improvement of our services and offering
As announced, Smart Salem has launched several new services, including new health and wellness screenings (including gut microbiome tests backed by AI, female hormone tests, personalized clinical dietitian consultations, ECG's) as well as new vaccination services, which will contribute to steady growth over the coming quarters.
The company also successfully launched its first offer of occupational health tests for beauticians which are now compulsory for workers in certain sectors to comply with the new regulation launched in 2024 by the local authorities.
