The Herc’s Nutrition chain of locally owned licensed stores specialize in health foods, vitamins and supplements ended 2022 with over 25 locations operating in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In the Spring, the chain opens its third location in Ontario’s St Catharines market, a 1275 square foot location in the Pen Centre at Hwy 406 and Glendale Rd. In addition, the chain also anticipates entering the Atlantic market shortly with its first location in Fredericton in New Brunswick. And Herc’s Nutrition continues to source both suitable franchisees and sites. Ryan Kaitting at Cushman & Wakefield Waterloo Region Ltd. is handling the chain’s real estate and notes that the stores will generally locate in highly visible street fronts and plaza end cap locations that are in a close proximity to the larger fitness clubs and complementary operations. The units also require sufficient parking and the size necessary is in the 1000 to 1600 square foot range.
