San Antonio, Texas It'Sugar
I returned to this store three weeks later, just before easter. They had quadruple the amount of Yowie boxes on display. No pic - phone dead.
Mason, Texas (small town two hours west of San Antonio and Austin) Dollar General
I believe this is my first time I've found Yowies in a Dollar General.
Same store - three days later. Three Yowies had sold. Not sure if this is good or bad. Week leading upto Easter weekend. It's a small town with family median income of USD39,000. The locals say this is the last small town in Texas that still has money left.
Albuquerque, New Mexico Walgreens #1
Walmart Neighbourhood Market #1 (not supercenter, this is same size as Coles, first time stepping foot in one of these)
Small store with only one regular checkout. That's our only location in this one.
Walgreens #2
First time I've seen Yowies on display in two locations within a Walgreens (second location was the easter chocolate shelf).
Manager: "Are they popular? Actually, they are. I only got them in six months ago and was worried they wouldn't sell - but we sell quite a few."
Walmart Neighbourhood Market #2
First time I've seen Yowies double stacked in a Walmart before. We're at all regular checkouts.
Walmart (regular supercenter)
Usual good stuff at Walmart, at every checkout as always.
Phoenix, Arizona Walgreens
Safeway
First time stepping foot in a Safeway. This one is a little disappointing. The shelves have barely any space between them, you can't reach in and grab the Yowie you want - you have to bend the shelf down, pretty much breaking it to get in there. Seemed hard to find as an adult, a little dimly lit also. $2.99 price point. It appeared that only half a dozen had sold out of the six boxes across the six checkouts. A couple seemed to have been crushed also.
I'm still yet to hear any employee (when I manage to track one down) of any store say anything critical about Yowies, in 18 months in the US. As I'm not learning anything new at this point, I'll only post Walmart and Walgreens pics if I see something different. I'll be watching CVS and Target rollouts, as well as other smaller stores. Will also return to Walmart to check the new dinosaur chocs when they are released.
More pics to come. Good luck all.
