Boots/Wallgreen Started with 310 Stores. That is a pretty serious commitment to the first product from a new vendor. They then added another 275 stores to the ActiPatch Program. They would not have increased the store count if there was not demand. Boots/Walgreen now sits at over 1,000 stocking stores. This a multi Billion dollar company. They did not get this large by putting products that don't sell on their shelves nor by selling "snake oil".

The same can be said of Lloyds Pharmacy. They saw the success that Boots was having with ActiPatch and jumped in with 1077 stores. Another Billion dollar company looked at the ActiPatch product, and the demand for it and jumped in with both feet.

Costco has a reputation for handling quality products. They guard this reputation very closely by doing extensive DD before they take on a product. Every year thousands of vendors try to get products in the Costco System but only a select few make the cut. ActiPatch joined that exclusive club last year. Once again, Billion dollar company that isn't going to mess around with a product unless it is top quality and their customers will purchase it.
