Vitamin Shoppe (NYSE: VSI) has received notice from the United States Federal Trade Commission that it has closed its investigation into the acquisition of Super Supplements by The Vitamin Shoppe. The Vitamin Shoppe is targeting to close the transaction by February 15, 2013 assuming all remaining closing conditions are satisfied.
