Infoseeker, I am positive on the stock because I believe in the 700 GNC corporate locations. I am a 20 year retail property manager for some very recognizable real estate companies. Over the past 2-3 years, GNC has taken their underperforming stores and franchised those to private operators. The 700 stores that are left (maybe more) are the corporate stores. Those remaining stores are their top performing locations that they did not spin off to the franchisees. These stores will be the premiere GNC locations and will perform better then the average store. Therefore, I believe the product will see a better chance for success due to larger traffic, better control of product location inside of the store (point of purchase location and materials are a large reason for any products sales success) and GNC corporate having better control of employee training on the product to the consumer.

Thanks infoseeker. The history lesson was very helpful. I have enjoyed this board a lot. Even bgrass makes good points (although almost always ending with I am worried) but there is a good tone to the discussions here. No personal attacks etc. Can't wait for the spring to spring!
