PITTSBURGH — GNC plans to close around 200 stores in U.S. and Canada this year, the company said Thursday.
The Pittsburgh-based vitamin shop owns more than 8,000 locations worldwide, with about 3,300 of those in the United States.
Company officials have not said which stores will close, but said declining sales are one of the reasons behind the closures.
