GNC
GNC
GNC, historically known as General Nutrition Centers, is a global health and wellness retailer headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company sells vitamins, minerals, protein powders, sports-nutrition products, creatine, pre-workout formulas, probiotics, herbal supplements, weight-management products, beauty supplements, functional foods, drinks, and other wellness products through stores, GNC.com, franchise locations, and retail partnerships. GNC traces its history to 1935 and continues to position itself around science-backed nutrition and wellness.
GNC operates through GNC Holdings, LLC following its 2020 financial restructuring. On October 7, 2020, Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Holding Co., Ltd., indirectly through ZT Biopharmaceutical LLC, acquired 100% of the equity interests in the reorganized GNC business. GNC consequently became privately held rather than remaining a publicly traded U.S. corporation.
GNC is currently led by Michael Costello, who became permanent Chief Executive Officer in September 2024 and remained CEO in the company’s March 2026 corporate announcements. GNC continues to expand its omnichannel business through stores, e-commerce, loyalty programs, marketplace partnerships, and international franchising.
GNC does not prominently publish a separate public headquarters switchboard for ordinary consumer inquiries.

Customers filing a complaint about an online order, refund, supplement, store employee, Rewards account, recurring purchase, damaged product, promotion, or another GNC service should gather the order number, receipt, store location, product name, lot information where relevant, payment records, and previous Customer Service correspondence.
Begin by calling 1-877-462-4700 or emailing customer-service@gnc-hq.com. Provide your order or receipt information, product details, purchase date, and a clear explanation of the complaint. If the issue involves a damaged or defective product, keep photographs and packaging available. Ask the representative to document the issue and explain the available return, refund, replacement, or account adjustment.
If the complaint involves an in-store purchase or employee interaction, contact the GNC location directly and request the store manager. Bring the original receipt where available and explain what occurred. Local management can generally address eligible returns, exchanges, transaction errors, and store-service complaints. Keep a record of the location and manager contacted.
If the first interaction does not resolve the issue, contact GNC Customer Service again and request further review. PRO ACCESS members can also use 1-866-214-2469 for priority support. Provide the previous case history, order information, photographs, and other documentation so the reviewing team has a complete record.
For a serious unresolved complaint, written correspondence can be sent to GNC Customer Service, 75 Hopper Place, Suite 501, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Include your name, contact information, order or receipt details, product information, previous case history, and a chronological explanation of the issue. Attach copies rather than original documentation and keep proof of delivery.
If the complaint remains unresolved, the next external channel depends on the issue. Payment disputes may involve the card issuer, while product-safety or adverse-event concerns involving dietary supplements may fall under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. General consumer complaints may also be filed with the appropriate state Attorney General or consumer-protection agency. Preserve receipts, packaging, lot information, photographs, and GNC responses before escalating.
