Howdy from Blue Dog Bakery!
WE have a huge favor to ask you. We have been fighting for several years to get our treats into several grocery chains across the country. The buyers in these chains don’t believe that folks really WANT an all natural, premium dog treat. Little do they know!
If you shop at any of these stores, please send me a return email requesting the treats from these stores and I will pass it on directly to the buyer. (Don’ t worry, they will NOT contact you). When folks demanded that Kroger bring in our treats, Kroger DID bring them in and they have been delighted with the sales. They have even asked us to present our MORE Flavors, assorted treats to them in Feb.!
Please include some reference to where you live and what chain you shop at so the buyers pay attention. (Their alternative to not following these requests is we send their customers to their competition!)
Stores:
Meijers
Giant Eagle
Publix
Hannaford Brothers - (they ran a test there this summer)
HEB
Dominick’s
(I apologize to those of you living outside these areas, but our newsletter does not segregate by state.) If there are any other stores you wish us to approach, please let us know as well.
Also, some of you have contacted us wondering why some of the smaller Vons stores in S. CA no longer carry the treats. It appears there was a mix up when some of the store shelves were reset. If you want to treats back into your Vons, the buyer requested that you tell the manager it is an “unallocated authorized item” and you hope he/she can find a place for it on the shelf. The Peanut Butter & Molasses is Vons item #32040028.
Thanks ahead of time for all your help. We will keep you posted on our success!
Power to the people and the pouches! Margot
