The company's name is Florida's Natural and the brand is Earth's Organics. They come in 1 liter bottles. The flavor I am looking for is Orange Mango.
Costco used to sell the juice in 2 bottle units, every 2 weeks I went in there and bought 6 bottles at a time. The supply seemed endless until one day.....Ahhh where is my juice?!!!!!
I have checked back every time I have gone into Costco and they no longer have it or do not carry it.
I have checked the local Walmarts (Which I made a vow never to go back into last month after seeing a video called "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Pricing"), I have checked Food Lion, Harris-Teeter at the Ebay Street location, Publix, Piggly-Wiggly, Bi-Lo, Earth Fare and Whole Food.
Nothing.
I have tried all of the other so called Mango Orange Juices and do not really care for them. They are usually from concentrate or have several other juices mixed in with them. The 365 brand from Whole Foods has a good bottled juice but like I mentioned it is a blend of other juices and is a bit too sweet. I mix it with a little more orange juice to drink.
So, while you are out shopping this week, keep a look out for the juice.
Give a shout if you find it and I will be on my way to buy out the inventory!
Thanks!!

Rose,
You don't have to post this, I tried to email you at the email address I have for you, but I'm not sure if it is the same or has changed. My current email has changed to brown.april@insightbb.com.
Here is what I tried to email to you:
Just to let you know, Bob and I may be going on a trip to his aunt's a few miles from Charleston the first week of March. We may try to view a few history places, or maybe the aquarium. We definitely want to see the ocean! Any places to avoid?
Thanks for your response to my comment on your blog. I did get one bag of bread mix to try and will try it in a week or so.
Better days,
Abby
MBAs and merchandising! A bunch of dumb rules that have to do with number and not reality. So, here's what I found out.
I called the manufacturer (they have an 800- number), and the customer service person point-out told me that if a flavor isn't selling enough "units," then it's pulled from inventory. However, if you talk to the store manager and make a request, you can generally get it put back into stock.
Another interesting item I learned from my local Acme. The stores use "stock rotation." Every 2-3 months, they shift a product from location to the next. When they did this to me back when I bought Iams dog food (NEVER again), I made a request to the manager - and voila!
If Costco and the rest are interested in keeping regular customers, they'll get your flavor in stock.
I did, by the way, check out the on-line buying. Oops - because it's chilled, the shipping is $40-50! A bit much, huh....
Let's hope that Costco and Harris Teeter and Piggly Wiggly and all the rest of the stores will take a hint - even if ONE customer buys a product regularly, it's worth stocking because that ONE customer buys a lot of other items!
Sorry I couldn't come up with the goods, but maybe someone will.
