DFI Retail Group to be exclusive wholesaler for GNC in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore

This is part of a new partnership between the two companies to deepen access to GNC’s health and wellness products and solutions.

DFI Retail Group has announced a new partnership with GNC to become the exclusive wholesaler, distributor and franchisee for GNC's health and wellness products in Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore. This agreement aims to enhance access to GNC's portfolio of products through DFI Retail's Guardian Singapore. The joint statement emphasizes that Singapore signifies the next stage of collaboration between the two companies in Asia.

In May, the Singapore Court of Appeal ruled in favor of GNC, granting it rights to assume previous GNC store leases and awarding over US$18.9 million in damages. GNC's chief global franchise and wholesale officer, Cheri Mullen, expressed optimism about reestablishing their store presence in Singapore and continuing to deliver high-quality wellness solutions.

Meanwhile, DFI Retail's beauty and health brand, Mannings, announced the closure of all stores in mainland China in December 2025, without affecting Guardian's operations in Singapore.
