Target @ Rancho Cucamonga, CA (10576 Foothill Blvd) = 0 copies



Target @ Ontario, CA (4200 E 4th St) = 0 Copies



Best Buy (#105) @ Rancho Cucamonga, CA (
11098 Foothill Blvd) = 5 copies



Best Buy (#1150) @ Ontario, CA (4120a E 4th St) = 4 copies



Virgin Megastore @ Ontario, CA (4522 Mills Circle) = 4 copies



Wal-Mart (#3276) @ San Bernardino, CA (4001 Hallmark Parkway) = 0 copies



Wal-Mart (#1862) @ Rialto, CA (1610 South Riverside Ave) = 0 copies



Wal-Mart (#1756) @ Fontana, CA (17251 Foothill Blvd) = 1 copy; edited version



....so far it seems like Best Buy's doing an excellent job with having SP in stock, and not so much at all for Target and Walmart o.O


I plan on hitting 8-10 more stores before the deadline though!, there's just SO many around here =P

I hit up four stores. Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, and Target. Other than that, there aren't too many other chains to choose from around here. I sent in my submissions last night via e-mail.

Haha that's pretty much all there's around here too.

With maybe one Virgin Megastore and one FYE

ditto...same basics here as well...we used to have a Tower records about 15 minutes from me but that closed down years ago. I am going to hit up Barnes and Noble, FYE and Borders and then I think I've hit everything that I could - New York is probably the best for finding places that sell CD's!

Hmm, I don't think Barnes and Noble sells CDs here

But I think there's a FYE around here so thanks for mentioning that! lol

.....I'm close to pretty much being done in my surrounding areas :)

Here's 5 more stores I hit up today:


Circuit City #3311 @ Rancho Cucamonga, CA (12260 Foothill Boulevard) = 1 copy



Wal-Mart #1922 @ Rancho Cucamonga, CA (12549 Foothill Blvd.) = 1 copy; edited



Target @ San Bernardino, CA (2380 Sterling Ave) = 0 copies



Circuit City #409 @ San Bernardino, CA (555 East Hospitality Lane) = 1 copy



Best Buy #150 @ San Bernardino, CA (888 Harriman Pl) = 5 copies



So what I've saying is still true. Best Buy is doing a super ace job at having SP, Wal-Mart and Circuity City are doing so-so (though they've only had 1 copy max), and Target's been having none. =[

......that's 15 stores I've hit up so far, and if time allows it, I will try going to at least 3 more by the weekend.

So, we only have two retail stores in town that sell cds, and I haven't had time to go to the surrounding cities and I thought about going to all the gas stations in town as a joke, but none of them have Sick Puppies, they're more into promoting BS and country. Unfortunately, Huskey, 7-11 and Macs all don't sell SP cds, which I think is ridiculous since we earlier found that most of you tend to listen to them in your car, so WHY WOULDN'T THE GAS STATIONS SELL IT!? So I saved camera batteries instead :( lol

Wal-mart - no copies, however this is where I happened to buy mine, but there was only one and I have no idea if they ever had more copies but they must have, right?


Zellers - no copies


Proof I searched sportin' SP attire and I randomly bought that silly hat while in Walmart. Only $7.97 baby! ;D

MACS!!! oh how i miss that store...we used to have one across the street...then they just got rid of all of them from Quebec. boo.

I'm thinking that walmarts and zellers in Canada are just as shi*ty (:p) as the Future Shops because none of them have them.

Serge... you are so right about Best Buy...every store I've been to has it, and by the looks of it, the ones that you guys have been going to also have it. YAY to best buy!!

I'd go to Macs over 7-11 anyday. They're less busy, have more drink selection and are never out of stock!

Best Buy also appears to have some kind of promotional deal going on with SP being why they've done cd signings at their stores. If they hung out in Future Shops, Zellers or Wal-marts I bet they'd suddenly all have such cd's in stock too ;) .. as long as it was planned beforehand at least.

Also, I didn't know we had Best Buy's in Canada, Sheila.

hmm....maybe the best buys only exist in that special canada that only includes Montreal and Toronto :P

the strange thing is that I've heard (dont quote me..i have no sources) that Future Shop and Best Buy are owned by the same company?? If that is true....I dont see why they wouldnt have the cd's but like you said...they probably do have some sort of deal.

If only I lived in Canada Toronto or Montreal, than I too could enjoy such american stores.

That is strange though, but I guess they just stock their stores with different things to give variety maybe? I don't know.

Last batch.

FYE
5309 West Centinela Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90045
Terrible selection


Circuit City
1251 4th Street
Santa Monica, CA
Also nothing


Barnes & Noble
3rd Street Promenade
1201 3rd Street
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Looks like they just don't carry SP. Not sure why since Borders does.


Borders
1415 Third Street Promenade
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Hurray! Finally. I was beginning to think California sucked


Hear Music
1429 3rd Street
Santa Monica
This one's interesting. Turns out Hear Music is owned by Starbucks. and carries a decent selection including SP. This means that we should be able to get Starbucks to carry them as well.


Borders
1360 Westwood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90024


Barnes & Noble
16461 Ventura Blvd
Encino, CA 91436


Barnes & Noble
6100 Topanga Canyon Blvd
Woodland Hills, CA 91367


Target
20801 Ventura Blvd
Woodland Hills, CA 91364
This Target was completely disorganized


Circuit City
6401 Canoga Avenue
Woodland Hills, CA
Nothing here. Circuit City is so inconsistent.


Best Buy
21601 Victory Blvd
Canoga Park, CA 91303
As Serge has said, Best Buy seems to always have it.


Borders
6510 Canoga Ave,
Canoga Park, CA 91303
Borders for the most part is pretty good also.


Best Buy
1173 Simi Town Center W
Simi Valley, CA 93065


Barnes & Noble
160 S. Westlake Blvd.
Thousand Oaks, CA 91362


Borders
125 W. Thousand Oaks Blvd.
Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
Didn't have a copy of the CD but a nice little Free Hugs ad


Walmart
255 Cochran Street
Simi Valley, CA 93065


Target
2907 Cochran St
Simi Valley, CA 93065


Target
800 New Los Angeles Ave
Moorpark, CA 93021


Barnes & Noble
4735 Commons Way
Calabasas, CA 91302


Ok. That should be 44 in all. In summary, Best Buy seems to always carry the CD. Barnes & Noble does not and should be targeted. Since Starbucks owns Hear Music and Hear Music carries the CD, perhaps we can convince Starbucks to also carry it. The other chains: Target, Walmart, Borders, and Circuit City are inconsistent. Circuit City is probably the worst.
