Vegetarian product marketing; was: Quorn Heaven

[Guest guest]

I don't understand it at all. In fact, recently I have been

unable to find my favorite vegetarian soyrizo anywhere

around here. I used to be able to buy it at WalMart,

of all places. They don't have it anymore though,

so I have looked at every other store around that

carries a good amount of vegetarian items, and

nobody else carries it. In one shop I asked if I could

request the manager carry soyrizo, and the clerk's

response was very odd. She said others have done that,

but they can't get it. Can't? Well, why not, if WalMart

used to get it. Makes you wonder...

 

I think my next step will be to bite the bullet and ask

Walmart if they can carry them again soon.

We have it at the Walmart near here. If you can't find it where your are, I

also have it at my Kroger grocery store, which is an affiliate of, I think,

Ralph's if you have one of those near you.

I think you live in OR so this may not help, but I know they carry it

at Fry's here in AZ.
