It is.... In Mexico!!

I imagine the cost of putting Speed Energy on shelves at WalMart in the domestic USA market is a bit high right now. But keep buying Speed.. I read somewhere sometime that "demand equals supply"...

RGM should live by the acronym "AMP"

I believe AMP is a competing energy drink.

Live by SPEED (insert clever acronym meaning here). You don't want to advertise for your competitors...

I'm sure Robby wishes they were in Walmart's too! My guess is SPEED is trying to get in Walmart and every other big chain store.

I believe Walmart / Target & KMart stores have specifics you have to meet to get a product in their stores. They did a whole segment on CNN about companies that have gone bankrupt because they were "forced" off shelves by competitors buying their shelf space out from under them.

They interviewed a former owner of a cookie company that had been in business over 75 years and was forced off shelves by Nabisco buying their space out from under them.

RGM offers a unique branding incentive by placing companies in motorsports with advertisement in exchange for shelf space. That works for 7-Eleven, Food City, Harris Teeter, and other companies like that, not sure if that works with Wal-Mart, Target & K-Mart. Target has a team they sponsor in Cup, so that might be a dead end. Wal-Mart doesn't need the advertisement. K-Mart would be the only possible opportunity. Of course, most of us have no idea about the food & beverage marketing structure. I'm basing my opinion off what I've seen & read about. Just glad GNC carries it. That's a huge national chain.

Well here's something I didn't know until recently, Christopher. Walmart stores can order product like SPEED on an individual store basis. So if you know somebody, who may know a buyer at your local Walmart, tell them to get on the SPEED Train. Hell, put the word out anywhere you want to see it stocked.
