Despite the challenging economic climate in the United States, the supplement and self-care industry remains a $21 billion industry and continues to grow at a rate of 4%-6% each year. GNC commands the lion's share of the industry's specialty-retail market. Overall annual growth in the supplement business is expected to grow steadily through 2012!
For years, GNC has been at the forefront of this trend as the largest global specialty retailer of health and wellness, sports nutrition and diet products. For 19 consecutive years GNC has been rated as the world's #1 franchise in its industry category by Entrepreneur's Franchise 500.
In 2008, when almost 6,000 retailers closed their doors due to lost sales, and many others cut jobs and closed locations, GNC produced positive sales growth in both franchise and corporate stores, and the company continues to open new retail locations.
