Good question. Maybe it does mean the product will be in Ohio within the next week or two. I hope that's the case. In regards to the employee never hearing of Winning Brands, of course it depends which employee you talk to as far as whether they know anything or not.
Well from my experience at Home Depot, the associates will not know the product is to be sold until its on the shelf. It will come in on the delivery and then be placed on the shelf. Big Box store work funny that way.
When I called the other day the female associate was at least familiar with the product. Obviuosly just from the phone calls that they had been recieving inquiring about the product.
These store get deliveries every night and the product could pop up on the shelves any day.
