There is something I would like to bring to your attention about Foodland. This chain supports a lot of the local vendors who are attempting to break into the market. They give these vendors a place to attempt to sale their product.
Trowbridge,O'quirres sausage, Southland's BBQ Sauce,Katies and Dick Howells slaw, etc...it is for this very reason that I shop with them for certain items...
I have talked with Piggly Wiggley about stocking local vendors. After several months they still do not have any local products on their shelves....according to the managers of the store, they have asked several times corporate office to allow them to stock the local items but do not have a approval to do so at the time I am posting this.
They stated, it is a vetting process and because they are a large chain, it takes longer for these vendors to get approved.
Walmart does not carry any local vendor products that I am aware of...if someone knows of a local product Walmart is carrying please let us know....
