NRF 2020: How GNC Brought Its Products to Customers Anywhere, Anytime
When GNC stores wanted to reach customers at fitness events such as marathons and obstacle races, the company looked to deploy mobile point-of-sale solutions (mPOS) across the country. Rolling out devices to more than 4,000 stores was a challenge, but the effort enables GNC to reach customers where they are with products they need. At NRF 2020 Vision: Retail’s Big Show in New York, we asked Scott Saeger and Paul Wulff of GNC about how the company is making mPOS work.
