A new partnership was announced today between GNC and Shipt, which will bring same-day delivery of GNC health and wellness products to consumers across the country for the first time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is difficult in the best of times, and it's become that much harder in the wake of the pandemic. Now more than ever people are seeking easy solutions to stay on track. As a go-to health and wellness authority, GNC offers the product solutions and expertise to encourage healthy habits, while Shipt provides convenience by delivering those essentials in as soon as one hour.
"Our vision at Shipt is to continuously identify new, innovative ways to simplify lives and give customers valuable time back to focus on what matters most," said Rina Hurst, Chief Business Officer at Shipt. "The partnership with GNC allows us to serve more people in more ways – we're able to deliver on a need when many are struggling on how to deal with stress, weight management, sleepless nights and more. We're in the midst of an exciting evolution to a multi-vertical, multi-retailer delivery service and are thrilled to have GNC as part of the Shipt family."
Quarantine transformed delivery services from luxury to convenience to a must-have, evidenced by the incredible growth in demand for the service. Over the last year, it became even more clear how important same-day delivery offerings are to the health of everyday families, seniors, and people who are immunocompromised. This new partnership is likely their idea to compete with online retailers like iHerb and Amazon. At this time, we are not sure if this applies to GNC Canada also.
