“Can
you help me find who sells “product name”? The Newton Falls Public Library
staff frequently has patrons looking for products they love to use. They are no
longer available at the store where they always purchased it or they have
forgotten where they made the initial purchase.
Recent questions have included a favorite Clairol hair coloring, cocoa
and crème Tums Smoothies, and Gonzo stain remover.
Each
question was answered by going to the corporate websites. For the particular
shade of hair coloring, we were able to give the patron a listing of local
stores which still carried her product.
She returned several weeks later to tell us that she was able to
purchase it at Kmart.
The
search for a local outlet for cocoa Tums was not successful. Their website no
longer lists this flavor as the product has been discontinued. Sixty count
bottles can still be purchased online, with the prices ranging from $5 - $18.50
before shipping and handling is added. Our patron said the price was enough to
give her more heartburn.
Like
the previous products, the website for Gonzo stain remover has the option of
making an online purchase. Some of the online stores which appeared to carry it
were Ace Hardware, Kitchen Collection, and Sears. Our patron said she was going
to try to see if one of the local chain stores carried the product.
