It is the largest single order for product that Koios has received in its corporate history.
The order is for Koios’s four most popular flavours – Apricot Vanilla, Berry Genius, Peach Mango, and Pear Guava. The beverages will be available for purchase initially in approximately 2,700 GNC retail stores in the US.
Pittsburgh -based GNC has more than 6,400 retail locations throughout the United States and Canada and franchise operations in approximately 50 international markets. GNC Canada is based in Mississauga, Ontario and operates as a subsidiary of GNC.
“The response to our new product lines at a regional level has exceeded our forecasts and expectations,” said Koios CEO Chris Miller . “Demand across the US has grown exponentially and our new national roll out with GNC will allow us to serve our ever-growing consumer base.
“The alignment with GNC is a perfect fit for Koios,” Miller added. “GNC is the gold standard when it comes to being a well-known, go-to source for health, wellness and sports nutrition products.”
