Staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The employee who helped me listened to my needs in a protein choice and helped me pick one that is delicious and doesn't contain any ingredients that I can't have. He wasn't pushy at all and I really appreciated that. He didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need.
The product I left with was the naturally sweetened GNC brand protein. I bought the vanilla and it tastes like a vanilla cupcake when mixed with almond/coconut milk. The consistency is great and the employee needed to drink his for the day so he even showed me his so I knew what it looked like before I bought it. I'm seriously one of the pickiest people when it comes to taste and protein powder; I've tried Designer Whey, Vega Chai Flavor, RAW Nutrition, Plant Head, Spirutein, Quest, EAS, and a few other whey based ones I can't remember. The GNC brand is so good, has a super short ingredient list, and tastes so good that I will only purchase it from now on and none of the others. The only one that compares in taste is Quest, but Quest contains sucralose (can't tolerate) and is pricey. The GNC brand is a whey based protein but it's super filtered so it doesn't bother my lactose intolerance (no bloating or other bad side effects!) like other brands have. The price isn't that bad either.
As for the location, it's a smaller sized GNC. They have a good selection of protein and vitamins. The parking can be a little inconvenient. I went on a Sunday so it was free to park but I know during the week you may have to put some money in the meters. However, the location and parking isn't as important to me as quality products and good employees. read more
