Well....it goes this way.
You walk into a REWE or Edeka grocery....to find no Mars Bars on the shelf, so you assume there's some kind of shortage.
The truth to the matter is that Mars (the company) sent the cost of the products up to a level, that REWE and Edeka felt was too high.
What's it run at a normal grocery? 74 Euro cents....for a 51 gram bar (Kaufland). If you shop at Metro....a 32-pack of Mars runs around 49 Euro cents each (note: Metro is a bulk store where small grocery or pubs buy their products).
So whatever Mars is quoting for the price for the two grocery operations....they simply don't agree with the value, and have said 'no'. So Mars doesn't supply their product to them.
A big deal? I shop at both REWE and Edeka....almost weekly. If you step into the candy aisle of either....there's more than 100 alternate products.....so you don't really miss the missing product.
NOTE: I was at my village post office today, and the going price for a Mars Bar....is 1.00 Euro. Yeah, it's a hefty amount....I admit, and I doubt if the post office lady sells more than one a week.
