General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

What a boon that would be for Nova Era if all the Timmies in the tri-cities said hey 'we want to order 500 a pop daily', assuming strong sales. Timmies = volume. It's almost like getting your product into a Wal-Mart.

It can be a bit of a double-edged sword to get your product into Wal-Mart specifically. The Wal-Mart Effect by Charles Fishman (old now but probably still somewhat relevant) describes how Wal-Mart gets suppliers to crappify their production (and to sell stuff at lower prices). In fairness, Wal-Mart and the suppliers do share the savings. But the stuff is less good and more disposable.

I could definitely see that happening with Tim's as well.
