Walgreens is not in Canada

Walmart only relates to Canada at the present time.

No business wants to lose a "customer", but to do business, it must make business sense - otherwise in the long run it could be detrimental to one's business plans.

Also remember that WC was in paint department of Walmart (not ideal department of that retailer imo for optimal sales); while we did see some photos of it appearing elsewhere, I suspect those were limited stores or during "testing" periods.

----------

What happens or doesn't happen in Canada (retailers, sectors, etc) may not be indicative of what will happen in USA or another countries. Notice for example we are already in grocery in two countries, but as of yet haven't penetrated Canada yet for that sector.

Just because we landed London Drugs (pharmacy) in Canada, doesn't mean we will land CVS or Walgreens in USA. However having experience in that sector doesn't hurt the odds (for growth in the sector) and experiences/knowledge can be gained and potentially applied to new accounts in the sector.

Sometimes you can be critical of the company and the share price, but thanks for calling it like you see it in this instance. Seems like it's nothing more than Wal-Mart playing the big-bully role that it plays so well.

person mark for you.

Hope the pps gets back up to an area where you can at least break even, as I know you've been holding WNBD much longer than you would have liked.

Never the less any time a giant retailer removes your product off their shelf after carrying it for 3 years should be of great concern and CEO would have to be a fool not to care because other retailers like HD, Can.Tire etc will take notice.Remember what Frankie said if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere.JMO
