GNC aims for Irish expansion, including through franchising
The US-based global health and wellness brand has opened its first Irish shop at Co Dublin’s Frascati Shopping Centre as it seemed like ‘a dedicated health and beauty quarter’
GNC, a global health and wellness brand, sees potential expansion opportunities in Ireland, including through franchising, according to a senior executive at the company.
Last week the company opened its first shop here at the Frascati Shopping Centre in Blackrock, Co Dublin.
The US-headquartered company, which was established in 1935, currently operates in over 50 countries, with around 4,000 stores globally.
“Ireland has always been a market we have been interested in. The Irish wellness market marries up to our strategy,” Cheri Mullen, SVP chief international officer at GNC, told the Business Post.
