RETAIL APOCALYPSE: GNC announces plans to shut down 900 (NINE-HUNDRED) stores:

Holy shit - the retail apocalypse just keeps getting worse under Trump. Jow Forums will try (but ultimately fail) to defend this:

>GNC plans to close up to 900 stores with a focus on mall locations

>Health and wellness retailer GNC plans to close up to 900 stores with big cuts to mall locations expected.

>Officials with the Pittsburgh-based chain spoke of their continued "store optimization effort" during the GNC's second-quarter earnings call with analysts Monday.

>“I think it could be likely that we'll reduce our mall count by a nearly half,” said Tricia Tolivar, GNC chief financial officer. “So we've got a little over 800 malls today and over the long-term, we could bring that closer to 400 to 500.”

>In the first six months of 2019, company records show 192 company-owned and franchise locations have already closed.

There world's biggest snake oil salesmen is going under?! Say it ain't so!!!

>Over priced snake oil outlet closes due to shitty product and prices
Good riddance

where will I get my fish oil suppositories now?

GNC is one of the most overpriced stores I've ever set foot in. Fuck them, they deserve to fail.

Oh no a vitamin shop which sells it’s shit for 10x what you can buy it for online is dying, it’s a Shoah for middle men!

Retail is dying off with the boomers. And that’s a fine thing.

>ITS DRUMPS FAULT!!21!
Do you have a single neuron firing in your cerebral cortex at all?

Good. GNC is a scam store. They up price everything by lkke 10x. They push products with no real value. They dug this themselves.

>GNC
Never heard of it

It's long overdue
GNC is crazy overpriced
All the same shit is cheaper on Amazon and even cheaper on other websites

>amazon kills a bunch of stores
>Trump prepares an anti-trust suit to break up amazon
>OP the retarded shill who keeps spamming this shit "CLEARLY DRUMPF IS AT FAULT FOR THINGS THE LAST 3 PRESIDENTS ENABLED"

Kill yourself

GNC is overpriced and has been undercut by online stores and in-gym retailers for years. The only reason to go to GNC for me over the last five years was if I had forgotten to order a specialty supplement item before I ran out and didn't want to go a couple of weeks without.

Bc GNC is garbage, gtfo here with your faggot anecdotal evidence

>not realizing it's cheaper on amazon because amazon deliberately operates at a loss to put these guys out of business so they can monopolize the market

Are amazon shills posting these fucking threads

Why buy from a store when you can get the same shit online from Alex Jones?

I'm getting tired of all this winning

Its also cheaper at gym stores and individual retailers since coprorations like gnc operate like tiny socialist states, not capitalist ventures, relying on monopoly entirely. Get fucked, corporate socialists

Look mom I posted the thread again.

It’s cheaper at Wal-Mart too but the cheapest is pure USP in bulk which you put into capsules or mix into drinks yourself.

Shine up, kike.

I just go to vitamin world

Gee why don't people like going to the mall anymore?

Capitalism is fucking stupid

This should help lower their overhead costs if they choose to continue to do business online. Real estate is too expensive

chad BTFO

Vitamins are scams anyway who cares

Oh well. Thier loss is inevitably walmart's gain.

No stores to shop at. Video killed the Radio star. Diversity killed the shopping mall.

This is what happens when a paradigm shifts without a clutch. E-commerce has replaced brick-and-mortar retail as the cornerstone of the consumer economy.

no. its got to be boomers. amazon has been around more than 2 decades. boomers are the only ones who buy. they are all abought asking questions to retards who work there

I wonder what's going on?

It’s just going back to the Sears Catalog. When Sears gained strength in the late 1800s / early 1900s there was much hand wringing which sounded identical to today’s as well.

I’ve noticed for the past 6 months they haven’t been restocking the shelves. Usually a sign of a store is about to go under.

Who?

Retail deserves to die.
Amazon ftw

Have you never bought from GNC you tub of lard? Of course not, as you stuff down that twinky.

It's too expensive and they pack all their shit with filler. If you actually work out and relied on GNC for supplements you are a lanklet that will always by DYEL

Fatasses confirmed
Its not that difficult. I've been working at walmart for over 15 years.

Capitalism is best. It just doesn't really suffer rats and pussies too much. Sorry if you're a pussy rat, but maybe you could indulge some self improvement instead of self loathing for a change. Stop being a faggot.

who cares guys I can just buy my stuff from Amazon and have it delivered to my door with no human interaction

as you attempt to blame Trump with your angry liberal faggotry, you fail to realize that amazon is the culprit once again.

GNC had a massive store closure in Canada about 12-14 years ago. Maybe it's their business model?! Dick head.

I don't know, son. But what I do know is that we have some girl from Kyrgyzstan working here. An Asian looking girl speaking Russian? This world is crazy!

I'm at work over 60 hours a week. I don't have time to invent anyting, not to mention the fact that everything has been done before and anything new it's just a refinement of old. Give me an R&D budget and I'll consider.

Yes we should, if you knew anything about society you would know that it's more than just the efficiency of the production of goods and services. Keeping people unemployed, paying for them with your taxes just because you want a slightly more convenient shopping experience is pretty stupid . I would rather have niggers working retail than them looting, bumming around, stealing and other kinds of social unrest while being paid by the government with my money.
If you think poor people will just stop existing because your strip them from their jobs you are mistaken. In the end they will become the majority and will elect someone who will give them the most free shit at your expense

Vitamin and supplement store for boomers

Pick only one

can fitness clubs like planet fitness have shops in them selling supplements? If so, GNC should think about putting shops in fitness clubs. Go where the people are.

Boomers? Literally looks to me like one of those fitness supplement stores that millennial gym junkies go to. I don't know many boomers who would even know what "pre-workout" meant other than foreplay.

>can fitness clubs like planet fitness have shops in them selling supplements?
Some nicer/more expensive gyms do but they mark up their stuff almost as bad as GNC.

Yes because Trump invented the internet and the idea of overnight dropship retail. He explained it all to Bezos and Jack ma 30 years ago just so that this would happen during his presidency to trigger smooth brained retard faggots like you.

How are you liberal fuckholes so stupid? Seriously, so far you morons have blamed hurricanes on trump, depression on trump, you blame him for incels, you probably blame him when you stub your toe. You people make the wignats constantly blaming the jew for things seem totally reasonable with your fucking insanity. Please kill yourself.

>Literally looks to me like one of those fitness supplement stores that millennial gym junkies go to.
Nah, millennials get their supplements on either Amazon or bodybuilding.com
Boomers go to GNC for multivitamins, weight loss supplements, and "test boosters".

Don’t feed the trolls, m8

This was clearly bait, m8

Ahhhh so they're supplements in general, my bad.
Still good riddance.

It was the only option for a long time. Now it's pointless since every other drug/grocery/big-box/online store sells the same shit for less.

There’s more white people on welfare than black people..

Also white trash is quite an ironic term to use on Jow Forums. This board is filled with white trash from all walks of life.

what is a percentage?

GNC has been overpriced for years. No one goes to the mall wasting 30 minutes to find parking having to walk 2 miles just to buy overpriced vitamins from idiots that have no idea what the vitamins are even for when you can literally buy them at the gym. Even Vitamin Shoppe is cheaper and they are still often overpriced.

The idea of the shopping mall, of turbojews leasing tiny spaces for exorbitant rental fees for the luxury of being on top of other retailers to make some kind of "theme park" shopping experience is dead. People have other things to do and don't even want to go to the fucking grocery store anymore. Drive-thru fastfood is fucking booming because people are too lazy to even get out of their cars.

>what is per capita?

How's that trade war going USA.

I hear Uncle Don wants to start a Tech war.

How many wars you still got Mr Freedom?

Good we can destroy the modern retail for traditional family business.

They're not that popular where I live, people buy from either local shops or other retailers. Also

What does Trump have to do with this?

Drug manufacturers basically have a monopoly on OTC drug prices and will do anything to maintain that.

Retail stores are struggling because of tech giants such as Amazon, and other retailers such as Walmart.


This isn't some sort of new phenomenon, OP. wtf are you talking about

Go suck an abo dick you kangaroo raping upside down faggot

>What does Trump have to do with this?

why in the hell would i go to a fucking mall, deal with snotty nosed teenagers, door dings and maybe getting shot. when i can order anything i need online and almost get it the same day.

You can try out clothes and shoes before buying unlike online.

Amazon and Vitamin shoppe killing it

I love these Walmart purgatory images. Currently making six figures but if I lose my position I expect something like this will be my final resting place until retirement.

All hope is gone, no point in even combing your hair. Welcome to Wal Mart I love you.

I never used amazon so yeah

And RBG is still alive too! Yay!

Human beings stopped going to malls because of niggers. It has nothing to do with Amazon or the economy.

Why don't you fly some of those Russian aircraft over our country so we can be all scared and get a big American dicking ?

Don't have too much fun with the bug people

Jow Forums irrevocably BTFO

>I love these Walmart purgatory images.
Thanks, man! I really appreciate it!
>Currently making six figures but if I lose my position I expect something like this will be my final resting place until retirement.
All jobs will eventually be like this, especially after the upcoming recession period I'm just getting myself acclimated now so the initial shock will be nonexistent.

>All hope is gone, no point in even combing your hair.
Exactly. There are no promotions here, so there's no incentive in improving my appearance.

Amazon is absolutely required in 2019.

If you don't use Amazon you're paying anywhere from 2-40x what you should be.

HDMI cables are $20 at Wal-Mart and $2 from Amazon.

True. Once the groids infested the malls, it was ogre.
