Dick, Now your CVS spokes person...Wow...how the heck do you come up with speaking for CVS?

That's like saying Walmart won't sell flip flops or shorts again, now that they're off the shelves for winter. C'mon. LMAO

CVS liquidated all of their warehouse sponges at half price through their online store and the stores with remaining inventory are selling what they have.

I notified this board well over a month ago that this was the case. Now people are seeing that many stores no longer have any SPNG merchandise. I was told by a CVS manager that sales were lackluster. This is also the reason that Costco has taken the merchandise out of their stores and Walgreens is also no longer reordering

Outside of the people who are shareholders in this company, there are not a whole lot of customers for their overpriced gimmicky sponges.

Kind of like when CVS runs out of bandaids or perhaps listick for babs...that's it...no more bandaids or lipstick for babs.....

I think CVS is not reordering

~!~ That could very well be true that cvs could decide not to reorder spng, but that would be looking at it from only one direction. Retail marketing has always been transitory by design. Meaning, the category of area to sell product in a walk through store may stay stable. However, the products will always change. Retail has to do this to survive change in the market place. You will always have a hardware isle, or home wares for example. But products like spng will always fight for shelf space. Spongetech, having come into the market as basically a “as seen on tv” type product, gets a lot of endcaps. Etc.

The point is there are more than a few reasons why spongebob isn’t on the shelf at that store….
… No demand in a given time as per a companies sales plans…no reorder at that time.
… Spongebob could be already on reorder. One way to check in store for yourself would be to look for a sku number and hanger tag still in the area where SBSP was. If a peg or tag still there, he’s coming back most likely.
… Spng has stopped shipping product completely, or is late to store.

We as customers would not be privy to many reasons why a stock is vacant. There’s more than one side to an observation. Could be Spongebob will not be carried any more, or spongebob sold out and is waiting for more product. It’s anybody’s guess and depends on what side of the sponge you’re standing on.
