GNC was once a popular vitamin supplement company. For years, it was one of the only stores where you could go to find certain types of vitamins and workout supplements that were not sold in your local pharmacy. But since the creation of Amazon.com and remodels in stores like Target, many people are now buying their supplements online, and retailers are offering a wider range of supplements. In 2017, GNC’s overall value dropped by 3.4%. They also carry over a billion dollars in debt. They claim to have a good business partnership going on in China so they may begin to sell shares of their company overseas. In 2018 they reported that 40% of GNC now belongs to a Chinese company called Harbin Pharmaceutical Group, after they put up a $300 million investment. It may just be a matter of time before GNC is bought out by Harbin, and it may be shut down for good.
