Supplement retailer GNC recently announced a new partnership with Shipt, an online, centralized grocery delivery service, in order to bring same-day delivery of GNC health and wellness products to consumers across the U.S., with some deliveries happening as soon as one hour post-order, the company said.
“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,” Rina Hurst, chief business officer at Shipt, said. “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.”
Shipt customers can select GNC within the app or on Shipt.com to add any products to their order, including vitamins, supplements, protein bars, beauty, and skincare products, as well as fitness equipment. To determine if delivery is available in a certain area, customers can visit shipt.com/GNC.
“The pandemic has really done a number on our bodies – both physically and mentally,” Josh Burris, president of GNC Holdings, LLC said. “This year in particular many are finding it difficult to stick to their resolutions. By tapping into the infrastructure Shipt has in place, we can help people reset their goals and offer our customers same-day delivery as they continue on their wellness journey.”
The 2020-2021 quarantine transformed delivery services from a luxury to a convenience, evidenced by the staggering growth in demand for the service, the companies said in the announcement. Over the past year, demand for same-day delivery offerings also became important to the health of everyday families, seniors, and people who are immunocompromised. Shipt said that this latest launch is part of its ongoing commitment to wellness, following the expansion of a partnership with WellCare, a grocery service with plans for low-income and special needs customers, to provide grocery delivery services to MediCare Advantage members and local partnerships to provide free Shipt memberships to seniors.
