On June 23, the American company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following the COVID-19 lockdown measures that hurt retail stores across the world.
The company does plan to restructure and has received $130-million in the form of new financing and loan amendments.
According to a press release, GNC hopes to exit bankruptcy protection in the fall.
However, as many as 1,200 stores are expected to be closed by then.
