OK, thank you for your patience (those that had any) while I allowed my life to progress while gathering info.
For you benthic feeders, my friend is a third shifter in Edwardsville. I refuse to interrupt his already screwed up schedule for something as stupid.
That being said, here's what I have been doing.
My friend shops at the Makenzie point Dierbergs. They no longer carry Apple Rush, nor does the Dierbergs in Edwardsville.
Now I knew that this would not be enough for the single-celled organisms that hang around this board so I took the next step.
I called EVERY Dierbergs and EVERY Schnucks in the St. Louis area and spoke to the managers. I have included manager names since I know some of you will STILL say that I am making this up. I asked both by name and by UPC, the UPC being 07833555512
Of the Dierbergs, these stores no longer carry Apple Rush:
Mackenzie Point
South Road: Mark
Fenton Center: Laura
Edwardsville: Kent
These dierbergs do carry Apple Rush. I indicate if they currently have it stocked. Only 3 of these stores indicated moderate to good sales performance, all the others reported poor sales. Poor sales meaning that their computers showed few or NO sales in the last 60 days.
Lemay: Mike, no stock, unknown restock date
Brentwood: Rick, yes stocked, moderate sales
Warsau Woods: Nick, low stock, unknown restock date
Telegraph: Jeff, restocking yesterday, good sales
Florissant: David, yes stocked
West Oaks: Caitlyn, yes stocked
Bogey Hill: Chris, NO STOCK, mod sales
Heritage Place: Bruce, yes stocked
Arnold: Adam, Yes stocked
4 Seasons: Brenda, yes stocked
Shiloh: Eric, yes stocked
For the Schnucks stores, ONLY the Overland store indicated that they carry the product but according to mgr Olsen it is not selling well. One more store: Brentwood (mgr Ryan) said they don't carry it but they could get it in from Grey Eagle/Anheiser Busch in a week as a special order.
The following stores said they just plain don't carry it.
Fairview: Nick
Lindel
Culinaria
South City
Hampton Village
Loughborough
Richmond Center: Bob
Gravios: Anisha
City Plaza: Tom
Arsenal: Kelly
Sierra Vista: Jim
Lemay: Rick
University City: Mike
Shrewsbury: George
Webster Grove: Rich
Afton Plaza: Kadir
Ladue Crossing: Eugene
Maplewood Square: Taylor
Westfal Plaza: Chris
Crestwood: Dawn
Concord: Katanya
Cahokia: Don
Granite city: Rich
Edwardsville: Randy
Wood River: Terry
Columbia: James
OK everybody, there it is. So sorry it took me a day to call 44 different stores during my work day.
Have a great weekend.
