Thursday, November 6 2014 | 00 h 00 min | News

As part of its expansion plans, the Calgary-based optometry network, FYidoctors, has made its entry into Quebec by merging with the Marchand Giguère Group.

Marchand Giguère and its affiliates have 70 optometry locations under various banners, including 16 independent clinics which are also joining the group through the merger. FYidoctors has over 450 optometrists in over 280 locations under the FYidoctors banner or Vision Source Canada.

The Marchand Giguère Group believes that with the Quebec market in the midst of so much consolidation and change, this new business model was the best option for optometrists who want to remain in control of their destiny.
