New Retail Chain: Westlake Ace

[Plowboy]

Just got word that our deal with the Westlake Ace chain of stores has been finalized. Westlake Ace is a retail chain of 89 hardware stores in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. The chain is over 75 years old. We have two stores here in Blue Springs, MO. Westlake Ace now doubles the number of stores where Plowboys products can be found.

I am waiting to hear. There's a floor display involved, so it may be end of Feb.

Thats great! Just picked up some yardbird at the KC BBQ store and used it this weekend. Can't wait to be able to get it just around the corner!

I need to hire you to pimp my products!! I just don't have the time.8-) Good luck Todd!! You deserve it!! I would much rather spend my time with sauces and spices than with pits, but that's the bread and butter for me right now.

Is the pay terrible and the hours worse?

[spicewine]

You got it !!! Absolutely

Congratulations! When you said you were working on a deal with a midwest company, I was hoping it would be one with a store near me. Oh well, at least I still have Internet ordering...

You might make sure that each store manager knows not to put your floor display next to the toilet plungers. Then again they might complement one another (food for thought).

[Butcher BBQ]

Oh yea congrats thats another great sell. Keep them rolling.

True. Some people will think, "That must be good chit."

[Butcher BBQ]

Now that is positive thinking.

Now that is positive thinking.

Damn David, you're really busting my butt tonight. :roll: Don't make me reveal your secrets. :twisted:

Anyone finding Plowboys at their local stores? I'll check mine this week.

Plowboys sighting today. The store had a display with different winning rubs.

Out of 4 missing bottles of rub, Yardbird was one. That's a 25% market share. Guy said the display has only been out a few days at the most.

[Plowboy]

Still a thrill to see your name/logo on a shelf. Thanks so much for the picture!
