Retailers ....

Folks,

My line of business recently took me to the lovely and very wet coast of Canada (aka Vancouver, the home city of Global Gardens Group).    I spent just over a week in the city, and it rained pretty much every day, but what I did do was visit a few retailers to see how the Veggemo product was doing.

The Urban Fare locations I visited did not have any Veggemo - so I asked the stocking staff at one location and they said the product had been de-listed.

A few days later I went to one Loblaws location and there was no product on the shelve - and notably no place for the product to go even if it were in stock.  I asked the clerk and they seemed unaware of the product.  It's important to point out that this is not an "out of stock" situation, where there is a sticker below the shelf with the product name and price etc.   In these cases there was NO product info on the shelves at all, anywhere (ie: there was no listing for these products in these stores I visited).

So that was the grand total of my trip to good old rainy Vancouver....  visited a total of 4 stores over a 10 day period and saw zero Veggemo, as none was being carried by the very same names listed on their product launch announcements.

Just my $0.02....

Personally i feel a long hold until the fall of 2017 for any change in SP. A celebrity spokes person whom is pro ...more

ya Freddie. I am big on product and company but ya Urban fare and save on were a bust. Urban fare gave some decent shelf space too. Loblaws and Sobeys near me stock it but not moving huge volume. Actually very little.
