if no over-priced product has sold in a particular location in over a year, I don't see where it's an impact "for better or worse" if they don't carry the product at all.

I'd agree lbdave, Spartans never really gave WC (1000+) a legit chance, from pricing it over MSRP and not allowing WNBD to assist in marketing initiatives...it just was not likely to get any legs given the stage 1000+ was at (at that particular time) in the USA...better initiatives happening in USA (most notable Do it Best which is local to such locales as Spartans)..and a much better 'retail' partner.

It's still on the shelves at Spartan too but unfortunately people aren't buying it. Store nearest me hasn't sold a single bottle in 4 months.

Why WC is doing so poorly at Spartan. Spartan not only distributes food and cleaning products to stores but it has it's own brand of food and cleaning supplies. And since most of the Spartan stores that carry WC are owned by Spartan they set the prices and the Spartan brand products are going to be low and the competitors like WC are going to be priced high. Also, the fliers and ads are going to push mostly their own Spartan products and not products like WC. A chain of stores like Spartan is probably not the best place for a product like WC and I don't believe the convenient and drug stores are not the best places either but I guess you take what you can get.
