Boazcat Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have a good location that has been consistently asking for Strawberry Crush. I can't find it at Wal-Mart, or any of the local grocery stores. How do I try and get it? Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be the Big Red bottler but that changed a couple of years ago. I'd contact both in your area to see who has it. You might to order a minimum 10 cases or so, if that's the case let the location know that it will stay in the machine until they drink it all.

I have called the 7Up bottler for Welch's and am waiting for a return call. I'll try Pepsi tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boazcat Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 15 case minimum order from Pepsi. I'm thinking this isn't worth the hassle. Unless... Is Strawberry a fantastic seller that I should have in all my machines? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Strawberry a fantastic seller that I should have in all my machines? Michael Unless they do things differently there that`s 15 cases per order, not necessarily 15 cases of strawberry. You can also ask about picking up an order with less than 15.That might be possible as well. I did not get into the flavored stuff in a big way until a couple of years ago because I needed some variety to fill the glassfront machines I got. Went with Fanta, Orange, Strawberry, Grape and Pineapple. Currently avg 2-3 cases a week of Strawberry. Looking back at the 4th quarter and including Barq`s Root Beer, Red Flash and Vault (all in same pricing category with coke) I did a little over 250 cases for 4th quarter.

Boazcat Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ok... so if I ask about filling out my 15 case order with other stuff that I need... will it be cheaper than Sam's? Can I get 16.9 oz from them or will I have to get 20 oz? I go through a lot of Mountain Dew in 2 stops and could probably get everything I need from them to last a month or so. But that is 16.9oz that I buy from Wal-Mart. Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinnJinn Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Sam's is definitely cheaper! I can get 24oz bottles cheaper than I can get 20oz from the bottler! Dang near 25cents cheaper as a matter of fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang near 25cents cheaper as a matter of fact! NinnJinn is probably right, my past experiences have been that it will be at a higher cost, don't know if it will be as much as .25. The only way to find out is to call and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dloiselle Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 My account with Pepsi, and I assume I am currently on the worse tier due to being so new and only requiring 15 cases per delivery - no time frame, I am at $0.96 per 20 oz bottle. Almost makes me sick except the fact that I have three of their machines and no headache. With my DN's they will be the same at 20oz, so I will be looking into what it takes to resize to 16.9 oz. Hope this sheds a little light. By the way, the 20oz water with dep, $0.47 per unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
