Have you noticed that grocery stores will remove "GOOD" items, if they oversell other items...Yeah?!
Employees have confirmed this as well!
So instead of removing a slow selling "have to have" item, they remove the "I Want" item instead.
Have only gotten feedback from employees from one National Chain, but they aren't the only National Chain that is doing this.
Obviously it is more expensive to hold onto a standard brand (Kraft) that doesn't sell compared to a specialty item that sells, but the profit is less.
It would seem that this would force smaller stores to stock it, leaving them with the high bill, but the I have it and they don't tagline.
They think if they stock it, regardless of losing money, will bring in more people to buy the other items they stock, the "Staple" items they carry, but they won't.
Why...it's simple, they know where to buy it cheaper! They're only there to get the item they can't get at the bigger store.
What happens...little store closes, big store GROWS-ES ;-)
Once the competition is gone, will you see the item on the shelf, but this time National Chain negotiates a new price and Big store GROWS-ES more-zez :-)
Eventually you'll get that favorite item back, but with the same high price, but this time, National Chain can afford it ;-)
If we were to guess...
