GNC

It’s like any other GNC that’s around, I’m not sure about the same products, but it’s an estimate that it’s the same being a chain store.
I went up from a 3 to 4 star rating solely for its location, in between the Lake (Red) & Washington (Blue) stops, and under ground in the Loop. Well played GNC. Well played.

This is the worst GNC store that I’ve been to. GNC told everyone that customers could return any merchandise to any local GNC store. However, it is not gonna happened in this store. I truly had an awful experience with these suckers in red GNC T-​shirt. Compe
When I tried to return GNC items, they rejected me by saying «I don’t know how to do it» and time time again!!! I felt like he hated me so much when I return something. I required to see the manager of this store, the guy told me he was exactly the manager, but still… don’t know how to do it.” And then, I required him to called his boss (looks like the man in the phone was the manager’s brother), I was right! His boss told me he own this store, which means when I return something to this GNC store, it turns out the refund was come from his pocket! They don’t care what the hell is customer satisfaction, they don’t care you happy with GNC or not. That day, I was sooooooooooo angry! I said to them that you are doing selfish business, the manager said «THANK YOU» to me. Oh my gosh! I have some words for the BOSS and the MANAGER. As normal men, I wish you could do the real GNC business, moreover, you, red suckers, should watch his mouth before you shit around. Shame on you in red GNC. Shame on your business under GNC’s name.
NEVER EVER ENTER THIS STORE TO BUY ANYTHING, you could easily buy GNC products from any other stores. NOT IN THIS STORE!!!
STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!! WORST GNC STORE IN CHICAGO.

I’m with Liz G — stay away from this store. Go to the 244 S State store.
The salesman here is a dishonest, unprofessional, swindler. I went in to ask about the buy one item, get another item half off offer, but received no information about the offer. Instead, he said he’d «hook me up». He tried selling me a few items with 25% off the high original price. When I said it seemed worse than the other offer, he offered me 30% off, failing to mention that they were on sale for much less than that. I ended up going to the GNC at State & Jackson to get my money back.

I just had the best experience here.
I came in looking for a meal replacement, since I tend to skip meals throughout the day. I didn’t know exactly what kind of product I was looking for but the store manager (the cute short buff Spanish looking guy) helped me decide what to get. He showed me a couple of items, both GNC brand and non GNC brand products. Gave me the pros and cons of each, as well as recommendations on what to mix it with and healthy meal tip ideas for weight loss which is why I was seeking meal replacements to begin with.
We made small conversation about trips around the country, and a variety of other things. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. At checkout, he gave me an additional discount and made sure he told me that they offer a satisfaction guarantee, or I could bring it back and try something else or get my money back.
Definitely an A+ on customer service.

SUPER CREEPY MANAGER
I just stopped into this location to buy Gu but I left, upset, without buying anything after the manager harassed me with talk about «special discounts just for you», commenting on my appearance, complaining about his employee, and asking repeatedly if I was single or where my boyfriend was. Super slimy sales tactics that make the buying experience horrible. I like GNC, but don’t go to this one.

A GNC is a GNC right… all the same stuff. But the one closest to home is the best one! They were the ones to inform me that the famous «Gold Card» first week savings of the week are now valid EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, which caused a burst of rejoicing in my consumer cortex. My first stop for unproven supplements which nevertheless make me feel better about myself, there is good power in placebo.
