Albertson's is not located on the East Coast (except FL, Shaw's and Star Markets, and Acme Markets)

Albertsons operates stores under the following banners:

Acme Markets 117 locations (DE, MD, NJ, PA)
Albertsons 594 locations (AZ, NM, CO, TX, LA, AR, FL, CA, ID, MT, ND, NV, OR, UT, WA and WY)
Amigos 3 locations (TX)
Jewel-Osco 182 locations (IL, IA, and IN)
Lucky Stores 5 locations (CA and NV)
Market Street 10 locations (TX)
Osco Pharmacy and Sav-on Pharmacy 722 pharmacies (Nationwide)
Shaw's and Star Market 169 locations (MA, ME, NH, RI and VT)
Super Saver Foods 2 locations (UT)
United Supermarkets 37 locations (TX)

Now Stater Brothers is not an Albertson's Brand. That is where I first saw the product in Riverside, CA at multiple stores as well as San Diego County where I live. That obviously hasn't been announced as far as I know.

Billy was posting a month or 2 ago that ESM Ferolie was supposed to be the East Coast distributor, but separated from MOJO. Not sure what happened there, but obviously stores nationwide are now carrying it.

It would be nice if other people can verify if their local stores are carrying the Chiquita Tropicals. It's in the cold single serving juice sections everywhere I've seen it.

yes, a very

strange company indeed... they have the product

they have the name/partnership (chiquita)...

and hopefully, now.. they have the 'motivated person' to push the

product in 'performance food group'...

maybe, just maybe, simpson realized that he could not do it on his

own, so he caved and paid performance food group a high percentage

to push the product and get it into stores.... sales might suffer

due to this, but the exposure could be very helpful in the long

term... if these rumors of product placement in west coast stores is true
