Nutrition Zone Expands to Second Store in Greater Denver Area

For Immediate Release

The Nation’s Foremost Retail Sports Nutrition Supplement Chain Now Open in Centennial, Colorado

Laguna Niguel, CA. (November 27, 2009) /PRNewswire/ Joe Eckstrom, Chairman and CEO of Nutrition Zone Enterprises, Inc. announced the grand opening of the Centennial, Colorado, franchise store.

Mr. Eckstrom stated, "We are excited to be bringing the Nutrition Zone sports nutrition retailing concept to the south Denver marketplace. Kurt Belding is an experienced Nutrition Zone franchisee and we are excited that he has opened his second store in the Denver area.”

NUTRITION ZONE Enterprises, Inc, a rapid-growth retail sports nutrition supplement franchise chain, is attributing at least part of its success in these tough economic times to a business model that makes its compact, state-of-the-art retail stores easy to own, manage, and merchandise. Start-up costs are modest, positioning it well below the price tag of well-known franchisors in other retail franchise categories.  Created by Joe Eckstrom, the NUTRITION ZONE system is the “next generation” of sports nutrition retailing and is sparking the curiosity of both professional athletes and women and men who are just interested in enjoying the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

“Centennial fits into our company's long term strategy for developing gyms in the Denver region of Colorado. Our alliance with Kurt will bring the leverage of the Nutrition Zone brand to an area of Colorado that we wish to dominate," said Carl Kosnar, franchise development consultant for Nutrition Zone Enterprises, Inc.  “We are very excited to have a partner with Kurt’s retail store experience helping us to make this happen. We plan to open several more stores moving up through the Greater Denver marketplace in 2010,” Kosnar added.

Eckstrom said, “Rather surprisingly, we are seeing an overall increase in retail store sales and attention being paid to one’s general health and fitness in this economic climate. It seems as though people are concentrating on the truly important things in life, and health is certainly the number one personal concern for everyone.”
