Mt. Olive packs almost 230 different items, and grocery stores, which typically have limited shelf space, must decide which items to carry.
Stores try to carry the most popular items that appeal to most of their customers.
The faster moving items need more shelf space in order to maintain an adequate supply until the next shipment. Stores determine what product mix they will carry based on their customers' preferences, sales information and input from our own sales people. So product availability varies from store to store. We don't ship cases of pickles to individual customers because of breakage. Those glass jars just don't travel very well in the mail.
