1.) Reason for coming: I went to the Simsbury location to get my girlfriend her quick fix canister. I decided to come the West Hartford location to get mine, plus it was convenient and apparently this place never had a review. 2.) Background: This West Hartford location apparently has been opened for some years now. From afar it looked brand new. I guess do to all the renovation, they have made GNC and the stores in that little niche area to look very modern, so it definitely could give one that impression. This store is in the middle of Maximum Beverage and Sakura Japanese in Bishops Corner. 3.) Aesthetics: Once again this place looks pretty new and clean. The cardboard boxes in some areas gave it the impression that this was a new branch for them. Nice, well lighted, it just doesn’t seem to gather much business. I was told that they get pretty good business there, and that today was the day they got about 50 customers. 4.) Service: Unlike the associate at the Simsbury location, the guy who worked here was very laid back. He wasn’t corporate where he tried selling you products that you didn’t need. Customers had questions and he was able to answer them in very great detail. That was a good thing to know — he knew his supplements. 5.) Prices: You can find pretty good deals here. I paid $ 25 on a large canister of Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard Whey. 6.) Products: They have Whey, Hydrolyzed Whey, Soy, Egg and Casein Protein. They have supplements for men and women. If you know about GNC I shouldn’t have to say anymore. It’s a supplement store, like the Vitamin Shoppe. 6.) Impressions: If I ever run out of protein, I will come here.
