GNC

My closet is bigger than this GNC. They don’t carry very much product and what they do have seems to be about 50% GNC brand. If you just need a tub of protein, this is fine. The only reason I went in to the GNC was because I was visiting my parent’s and needed protein, so I planned to pick up a few single-​serve packets. They don’t carry those, so I was forced to buy a ridiculously expensive tub of whey protein. Their prices are literally 50% higher than many online retailers. Ugh. This is GNC in general though, not this location. The guy working at the store was very nice, but did not seem to know much about supplements at all and actually gave me incorrect information at one point (I corrected him politely and he took it very well). If you’re just getting in to working out and need guidance on what to buy, don’t go to this GNC. If you need some protein or PWO in a pinch, this store is fine.

This tiny GNC has amazing utilization of space. It’s clean as a whistle and has most everything that the Mother Company wants it to have. However, it has the most unknowledgeable staff I’ve ever seen when it comes to nutrition and supplements. Might just as well have had the Safeway janitor as the store keeper. A young lady came in asking about the difference between Creatine Monohydrate and Creatine Phosphate and whether one should mix it with Nitric Oxide. The deer-​in-​the-​headlights look from the store keeper spoke for itself. He’s there to take your money not to know a darn thing about nutrition or supplements. What the hell is that GNC for anyway?
