Dr. Pepper Bottles and Sams Club

Apparently Sams Club has stopped selling the Dr. Pepper bottles.  I went to 2 local Sams clubs and both told me they no longer carry them. 

 

Online on the Sams club site it says available in club only however they are not in club.

 

Just a heads up to everyone.  This makes my life a little more difficult as I sell quite a bit of Dr. Pepper and will now have to get it at a grocery store I guess. 

 

This makes no sense to me why Sams no longer carries it.  Seems more and more small venders are getting squeezed out from lack of product availability.

You guys have to remember that the club stores buy products when the price is right for them to resell it, not just because they might sell alot of it or it's popular.  The buyers at the clubs look for deals and when they don't get a deal they don't buy a product.  Remember too, that Dr. Pepper isn't a Coke or Pepsi product, it's independently owned by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group so their pricing and deals to the clubs can be different than those from the major bottlers.  Sometimes even when you have a bottler that distributes an independent soda like Dr. Pepper the stores can still make national deals with the independent brands that can supercede the local distributors, depending on the licensing agreement in place between the bottler and the independent.

Also don't forget to ask the store manager to order some.  If they react to your request it might take a few weeks but I found when they were up here, the item I asked for would sometimes reappear.

Im hoping they get it in the future.  Seems my local Sams club is not having quite a few items I need at the moment.  The Big Texas Cinnamon Rolls are the latest item to not be found there.
