[WASHINGTONTIMES] Calls to boycott Wegmans Food Markets, a popular supermarket chain, because it sells Trump Winery products have backfired on the Prince William County, Virginia, chapter of the National Organization for Women.
A spokeswoman for Wegmans, a New York-based company, told Fox News on Monday that Trump wines flew off its shelves last week. Out of 10 locations, only its Charlottesville store did not completely sell out.
Jo Natale, Wegmans’ vice president of media relations, told the network that 100 bottles of Trump Winery Meritage and 20 bottles of the Cru remained at its Charlottesville location as of Friday evening.
Calls for boycotts began with a story involving Prince William County’s chapter of NOW in The Washington Post published Feb. 14.
"Certainly if Wegmans is carrying Trump wines, I personally will not shop there," Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, told the newspaper.
Wegmans has been on the Fortune Top 100 Companies To Work For list since 1998. They are currently listed at #4.
Wegmans also is #1 on Fortune's survey of consumers' favourite grocery stores.
Not to mention Consumer Reports' top ranked grocery chain, and the company with the best corporate reputation according to Nielsen.
What in earth were those NOW idiots thinking?! Their people aren't going to give up affordable truffle oil just because Donald Trump's wine is visible on another aisle. |
