    Two new businesses have recently opened in Raleigh and Durham.

    Club Champion, a custom golf club fitter, has expanded to Durham’s Renaissance Village shopping center, which is also home to HomeGoods, Michaels and Petco, among other retailers.

    Options Medical Weight Loss makes its official North Carolina debut July 11, the company announced in a press release. The clinic is opening at Brennan Station , at Creedmoor Road and Brennan Drive, a shopping center that also features Office Depot, Dollar Tree, Wendy’s and Dunkin’ — and eventually, Trader Joe’s .

    New golf club store open in Durham

    Club Champion’s newest location at 8128 Renaissance Parkway Suite B5 is the brand’s sixth in North Carolina.

    The Willowbrook, Illinois-based company already operates stores in Asheville, Wilmington, Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Cary, along with locations throughout the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

    Inside the 2,300-square-foot space, customers can be fitted for custom golf clubs from brands including Callaway, TaylorMade, PING, Titleist, Cobra, Fujikura and Golf Pride. The store’s demo matrix allows shoppers to see available head and shaft options. In addition, the store has two indoor hitting bays with TrackMan launch monitors to analyze performance and a SAM PuttLab system, which helps customers select a putter.

    “Many players think they aren’t good enough to be custom fit, but we’ve participated in multiple third-party studies that showed higher handicappers saw the biggest gains,” Club Champion founder Nick Sherburne said in a press release.

    Weight loss clinic coming soon to Raleigh

    Options Medical Weight Loss is opening its first North Carolina office in Raleigh this month.

    The clinic at 8111 Creedmoor Road is celebrating a grand opening at 5 p.m. July 11. The Brennan Station location is the 25th for the company, which operates in Illinois, Ohio, Florida, Arizona, Indiana, Michigan and Georgia.

    Options , which is moving into the former Weight Watchers Studio space, customizes weight-loss programs for each patient according to their body composition, health history and personal weight-loss goals. Methods for weight loss may include medications such as appetite suppressants, a diet system featuring ready-to-eat meals and snacks, and suggestions for lifestyle and movement changes.

    “We pride ourselves on looking beyond the number on the scale and encourage our patients to a deeper level of health,” Katrina Mattingly, the chief medical officer for Options, said in a statement.
