Walmart is supposedly getting out of belt ,filterand bag business in stores.

Customers are coming in asking about bags, belts and filters for cleaners that Wal Mart sells. They were told they were discontinuing these products and want the customers to go online when they need these items. When you need a belt or anything else ,it is," I need it now", not days from now. These customers didn't like being told they had to go to another store if they had what they needed. In our area it is 20 miles in three directions for a store. Many small businesses have been driven out of business by this company as well as other big box stores.I feel there will be a ressurection of the Independent Vac Shops because people will find getting parts and service there is better than going online and waiting. Looking at a cleaner and seeing what it will do is better than buying online and hope it does what it is supposed to. Online sales will still be made but having the service after the sale is still important. You can say what you will about your favorite brand but when it gets down to buying a cleaner going to a Vac Shop is the best way. At Wal Mart and the other big box stores they sell you what they want to sell you. At least with Vac shops you can find a wider variety of Vacuums.The Door to Door sales peolpe also have a variety. It is if the cleaner meets the needs of the consumer that they buy. Procare

Same old same old. It's in the public domain. It's not proprietary information. It belongs to the readers who subscribe/read the WSJ. Not to John Jannaronne once he publishes it. If you contacted him, be my guest I'm sure he would laugh [at you], he would tell you that another WSJ writer RECOMMENDED BEST BUY stock in the same paper that day while he [and I] say it is overpriced just like BB&B. See, when it comes to retail stocks and their outlooks and forecasts, there are a multitude of opinions for and against. No one person owns the right to an opinion that is shared for others' consideration and thinking. When they do, they charge extra to sell their opinions to investors in their own newsletters and stock pick literature. They don't publish them in print for the WSJ. Carmine D. True. However, you need to give credit to the original writer and not be so egotistical. Try to be original Carmine. Oops. Bad Idea. Your original thoughts are always biased and wrong. Just think. If you had any smarts we might be bowing to you rather than Sir James. Kinda chaps your arse that you failed to reach his status doesn't it?

Not a bit. You might feel and think that way for yourself but don't impute it to others. I wouldn't trade places with anyone on this earth least of all him. He can be an idiot, bowing to him just makes him an official idiot.

I can read if it is produced. Your word that I made a statement means little since you twist the truth so much.
I don't think so, or you would have seen and read already. It's on the thread on Who makes Kenmores. Plain as day. Your name and post and my response. Goes back to March/April 2008 if I recall. Soon after the LG Premalite faded out and was no longer around at SEARS.
I enjoy responding to you here. You give soo many opportunities to use your posts to make my points here for others to read. Thank you. Carmine D.

Wal*Mart has done a 180 in an effort to reverse its lower sales percent increases for 7 straight quarters. Looks like the inventory removed from shelves will be restored. Enjoy: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704776304576253252673697210.html As stated, I am not a wM shopper except on rare occasions. But I follow retailers, even big box stores, with vacuums and vacuum parts. And of course their financial status. Carmine D. |

Like I have said before, Walmart is not getting rid of their floorcare, including supplies. The article says nothing about floorcare.

And you were wrong when you said it. Articles don't ALWAYS say everything. Not enough words and room. You have to read between the lines and use your head. Article doesn't say fish/tanks either but those were scrubbed at many W*M stores too and we'll have to see if they are now added back. Personal observation in concert with news articles give the complete story. Or as I like to say, the story within the story.
