A weight loss company and a yoga shop will soon be joining the ever-diverse tenant mix along Oleander Drive.

Achieve Medical Weight Loss, which creates custom weight loss programs based on a client’s health, weight and body mass index, is currently moving into 2,100 square feet of space at 4130 Oleander Drive.

Chuck Lydon and W. Tyler Pegg of Coldwell Banker Commercial Sun Coast Partners represented the tenant, while Steve Warwick — principal broker with Maus Warwick Matthews & Company — represented the landlord after executing a long-term lease in March on the property for an undisclosed amount.

Dale Kuhl, co-owner of Achieve Medical Weight Loss, said he plans to have a grand opening of April 17.

Once officially open, the clinic and its five employees will operate three days a week: 3-7 p.m. on Tuesdays, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday s and Saturdays. 

“We’re moving in furniture and getting things together as I speak,” Kuhl said. “It’s going to be a very nice office when we’re done with everything.”

The Wilmington division of Achieve Medical Weight Loss — which operates 14 offices in Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky — is the only such location in North and South Carolina.

Kuhl said his business is a cash-based company and does not accept insurance. He said while his company takes a customary approach to weight loss, they also have licensed physicians and nutritionists on staff who can prescribe dietary medicines.

“Dr. Jeffery Seder is a supervising board-certified cardiologist,” Kuhl said. “He will be on staff to help our clients, and oversee operations in the office . . . we’re very excited about this venture and feel it will be successful.”
 
Meanwhile, Bikram Yoga is setting up shop in more than 3,800 square feet of space in the Willow Woods Shopping Center, located at 5424 Oleander Drive.

Chuck Lydon and W. Tyler Pegg of Coldwell Banker Commercial Sun Coast Partners also represented the tenant, while Mike Brown and Bryan J. Greene of Cape Fear Commercial represented the landlord after executing a long-term lease in March on the property for an undisclosed amount.
