With unemployment at 10.2% and growing, the economic climate for many hard-working Americans is challenging, to say the least. Despite economic hard times, however, the supplement and self-care industry — a $21 billion industry — continues to grow at a rate of 4%-6% each year, according to GNC, the largest global specialty retailer of nutritional products including vitamin, mineral, herbal and other specialty supplements and sports nutrition, diet and energy products.

Recognizing the new supply of talent looking for new and more entrepreneurial opportunities in 2009, GNC is offering an incentive to individuals who are looking for a fresh start and are searching for a strong and proven company. Through December 31, 2009, GNC is offering 50% off the initial franchise fee to those who are qualified and interested in a great opportunity to start a GNC franchise.

“At a time when many retailers are going out of business, cutting jobs and closing locations, GNC sales are as strong as ever and the company continues to expand its retail locations,” says Executive Vice President of Store Development Tom Dowd. “For the past 75 years, GNC has expanded its worldwide network to over 6,700 stores in the U.S. and 47 global markets — and we’re still growing!”
