PITTSBURGH, Pa. – GNC announced on Monday an exclusive agreement with Walmart and will begin selling a select assortment of products in their stores and Walmart.com. Through Walmart’s national footprint, a curated selection of GNC’s products will be more accessible than ever before the company said.

“Millions know and trust our brand, and with this collaboration we can deliver the GNC experience to a whole new group of consumers. With retailers like Walmart in our court I’m confident our expanding wholesale distribution will continue making GNC the most trusted and recognized personal health and wellness brand in the marketplace,” said Josh Burris, chief executive officer of GNC. “The future of the wellness industry has a place for everyone, and GNC is making a healthy lifestyle more accessible than ever by delivering quality products to consumers via Walmart’s expansive network of stores.”

Through this partnership, Walmart will be carrying a thoughtfully curated product assortment that provides the level of innovation and science-backed expertise that is synonymous with the GNC brand.
