More of a 3.5 star review but I enjoy this GNC location. They seem to stock most of the major brands and their own GNC products are reliable. The staff know the products and i'm usually in an our pretty quick. The stores alleviate me having to wait for shipping if ordering online. Plus most sites like Bodybuilding.com only have free fright if you order $100+. Prices at GNC are on par too.
However, like Mark said in his review, the up-selling can be a little ridiculous. I stopped in a few weeks ago for a protein shake. I brought it to the register and the woman suggested I buy a different brand - GNC's. I asked if it was the same price. She said yes and it has more protein in it. It was $1 more but I didn't cause a fuss. They also really steer you towards joining their paid membership program. I always say I'm not interested but they babble on about the benefits anyway.
Convenient store but the commission based up-selling is an issue. read more
