The Vitamin Shoppe Announces New Franchise Model Backed By 40+ Years of Demonstrated Success

The Vitamin Shoppe® is a global wellness brand with over 40 years of demonstrated success.

Now, with more than 5 million active customers and a shared commitment to good health for all, this purpose-driven leader is poised for growth in 2021 and beyond through its new franchise model.

“We believe that everyone is deserving of good health and our mission is to be a trusted partner to our customers on their journeys of lifelong wellness,” said Sharon Leite, CEO. “At The Vitamin Shoppe, we like to say that ‘Lifelong Wellness Starts Here™,’ and in that spirit, I’m delighted to invite new franchise partners to join us in that mission.”

The $50+ billion vitamins, minerals, and supplements industry has made steady gains for decades, including this past year with global health concerns driving increased commitment to wellness. This new franchise opportunity provides a proven operating model based on broad selection and expertise, limitless room to expand by serving customers holistically through omnichannel offerings, a strong pipeline of products from The Vitamin Shoppe proprietary brands, and an omnichannel approach to customer experience. Joining The Vitamin Shoppe community is more than just a business decision–it’s a lifestyle.

On average, the company’s top 25% of stores generate $1,710,624 in revenue per store with $300,717 contribution per store.* 

“It’s a great industry and it’s been growing aggressively for a number of years,” said Muriel Gonzalez, Chief Marketing and Merchandising Officer. “We actually expect that in a couple of years it’s going to be at $60 billion, so it’s a great time to be in this industry.”

Since 1977, The Vitamin Shoppe has been dedicated to helping its customers become their best selves, however they define it. This commitment to good health for all is reflected in the dedicated teams that serve communities across the globe. Each Health Enthusiast® at The Vitamin Shoppe has a unique story and life experience. They draw pride and strength from a deep appreciation of their differences and collective passion for helping their customers thrive. 

Today, in more than 680 stores across the country, customers can find one of the largest assortments of high-quality vitamins, minerals, supplements, sports nutrition, CBD, healthy snacks, weight management support, aromatherapy, herbs, superfoods, natural beauty products, and more–including a portfolio of seven well-recognized proprietary brands with a loyal following in the marketplace, trusted for their quality and innovation. As shopping preferences evolve, The Vitamin Shoppe has expanded its approach with an omnichannel strategy over VitaminShoppe.com, the VShoppe app, and robust social media presence.
