Ok if this is true and they are selling AG products at Walmart has anyone seen them on the shelves? And what are the cost of these products? Is it the same cost that is salon retail price? I wanna do the $10 buy back but I just wanna see what they are really paying for this crap!

AG is sold in Florida and select outlets on the East Coast ONLY. They only carry the outdoor stuff like SPF, Lip Balm and Tan Extender. Sometimes you see a few SKU's of non-SPF stuff geared torwards the outdoor market in different packaging. They do not carry the indoor tanning lotion lines. Enough with the rumors.

So are you saying they have never sold it in Fl or they just do not sell it now? Inquiring minds would like to know. When year did they pull it? I have not sold AG in a long time so I lost track.

[RobertK]

Many years ago I believe they sold Accelerator, Thrust and a few other products. I have not seen any of that in years. I have a summer house in NJ and they have AG at the surf shops and some other places. I always keep my eyes out and have not seen any indoor products at all in probably 5+ years.

I was in Walgreens in Miani a few weeks ago and they had 4 shelfs at least 6 foot long with nothing but A/G they. And I do remember seeing other products not just the outddoor in there.

[RobertK]

Which other products? I have looked many times both in NJ and Florida.

[frankie]

I do know they sold it at one time because some ended up here in Athens. Trever (I actually talk to him) pulled it from here but told me then he would still sell it in Fl. It had something to do with a contract her had. Maybe that has changed. Like I said I have lost track because it means nothing to me one way or the other. That is great if they don`t sell indoor lotions now.

[RobertK]

Frankie I agree. I believe years ago AG was one line run by one company. Like I said I use to see a couple of the lower end products. Now they are completely seperate. Indoor department and the outdoor department. Different products and packaging.

I just learned to day that Armstong Beauty Supply carries the majority of hemps. The 12 oz aloe vera after burns is being sold for 6 bucks a bottle. They also have the full line of moisturizers....not happy at all...i will be on the phone tomorrow and shipping it all back....how can you compete with this?

[RobertK]

I agree Beauty Supply is an issue. You are talking about Supre? I thought they had pulled out of Beauty?

[northtanman]

I just got back from florida....and YES, they carry AS, namely Velocity and the low end one Gelee...it was in Target...and is in Walmart.

[GSK Resources]

I live in Florida:

AG is in most drug, grocery and mass retail stores with an number of non-SPF products.

This started back in 1990.... no big shock it is still there.

They run radio commercials promoting the AG brand.

[RobertK]

Guys I live on the East Coast and own salons on the East Coast. We do not loose customers to Outdoor AG being sold in stores. They MAY have a couple of SKU's of their low end orginal non-spf stuff in different packaging. What does this have to do with any of your businesses unless you live in Florida? Even in Florida I doubt it has any impact. In fact AG is popular on the east coast in part because of the popularity of the SPF line. This subject is so old and so misrepresented.

Supre is still in the Beauty Supply house, they said they was pulling the Supre brand but sold the Hempz name to another company. I find that had to beleive since the Hempz brand is the only brand that sold good for them. I think Supre is just saying that pulled the Supre name and and will put other products in there under this new company name they started .To me its still owned by Bruce so its still owned by Supre and they are just trying to screw over the tanning salons.

[drone08]

I agree. I have an add in my hands that has teh Hempz After Sun gel on sale for 6 bucks. i have it marked for 18.00... I was told buy my distributor that they were not suppose to be selling this anymore...well they r ....as well as the coco beach and other AG tanning lotions.....i can either drop my price r ship it all back...im not yet sure to what I will do.....does anyone know what I should price the DS lotion Black as?

[cdm0623]

I live in FL, and AG INDOOR lotion is sold in walmart, target, cvs, ect. The price range is 6.44-9.88. Who would want to associate their salon with Walmart? Not me! I also have seen many Supre lotions, other then hempz in beauty supply stores. How long bf all ests products are in walmart? thats what i think of them!!! Im DC all the way!

[RobertK]

Ok here we go agin with wrong information. Which AG products did you see exactly? Gelee? Give me a break. You will never see any of the other ETS brands. DC is a good lotion line just stop with the false and misleading comments.

[Tanning Queen]

Sure, they may not have ALL of the AG products, but it still send the image to the consumer that thier products are sold in Walmart so they should be cheaper than what you sell them for.

I dont think anyone is saying false or misleading comments. It is a perception to the public.
