Overview
On February 29th of 2000 we officially kicked off our Franchising division. As you know, the nutrition and health industry has been rapidly changing everyday. New products. New opportunities. We are extremely excited about the future of the DSN System, and we are pleased to have you reading this information. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or want to take the next step in owning one of our stores.
We are excited about this new venture within our company. Discount Sport Nutrition started in 1996 as an Internet company. Since then, we have opened new company owned retail stores in Texas and Oklahoma and are now offering other individuals and companies the chance to become part of our successful business. As of today we have franchises in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Norman, Oklahoma; Denton, Texas; and coming soon locations in Lubbock, Texas and Virginia Beach, VA.
One of the biggest benefits about being part of Discount Sport Nutrition vs. another competitor is that we get some of the largest discounts available in the industry. Due to our large buying power, we can pass the savings onto you and then onto our customers.

Products & Services
Our main goal at Discount Sport Nutrition is to sell the best supplements known to man at prices real People can actually afford.
Discount Sport Nutrition started in 1996. We are one of the oldest "Internet" supplement companies. We noticed most supplement stores sold their products at outrageous markups, and one day we decided to do something about it. We set up an Internet site, and started selling and shipping supplements to people all over the country (and in some foreign countries too).
We soon noticed something about our customers. Some of them knew exactly what they wanted and had no problem ordering it over the Internet. But many people were confused about the different types of supplements available on the market. What these people really wanted was to talk to someone in person who could help them figure out which products would be best for them.
In 1998, Discount Sport Nutrition opened its first retail store, located in Denton, Texas. This was the place where the DSN Concept for selling sport supplements from a retail store was developed, tested and refined. Shortly thereafter we opened another DSN Store in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The DSN Concept involves offering a wide range of name-brand sport supplements at discount prices, and providing top quality customer service to help people select what they really want at prices they can afford. Sport supplements, of course, include products designed to help people bulk up, lose weight, or feel better. DSN Stores also sell vitamins, herbs, clothes, drinks, and other health-related products.
Starting in 2001, all DSN stores in Texas and Oklahoma became individually owned and operated as Franchises. Discount Sport Nutrition Franchising, L.P. is currently selling rights for other individuals and companies to open up DSN retail stores. If you would like more information on this, please select this option in the left menu bar.
Discount Sport Nutrition has everything you need. We have the lowest prices in the world. So keep an eye out for a DSN location opening near you. That's how it all began and we hope it never ends. We intend to keep providing the best products and customer service at the lowest prices anywhere.
