WYNDHAM BOARD OF DIRECTORS REJECTS UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL FROM CHOICE
Proposal Presents Unacceptable Risk to Wyndham Shareholders
WHAT: Canyon Ranch introduces its third brand extension since launching trademarked CR aesthetics and CR shops last fall by announcing the opening of CR CREĀT – the wellness industry leader’s first stand-alone, quick-and-casual concept inside the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian® and The Palazzo® Las Vegas. CR CREĀT joins the brand’s Canyon Ranch Café and Canyon Ranch Grill as an alternative to the indulgences of Las Vegas. The new brand extension brings elevated counter culture to the Strip and features modernized healthy options through a carefully curated menu by Canyon Ranch master chefs. Offerings include seasonal salads and sandwiches, a specialty selection of waters, custom-blended coffees and teas, artful confections, and more. Thoughtfully chosen CR branded retail items and gifts for the gourmand will also be featured.
“The launch of CR CREĀT caters to those seeking mindful and healthy offerings on-the-go, without compromising quality,” said Susan Docherty, Chief Executive Officer of Canyon Ranch. “With an ever-increasing public interest in a holistically-well life, we see opportunity for this new brand extension in high-end hotels, popular airports, multi-office complexes, universities, fine retail establishments and beyond.”
