Where There's a Salerno

The easiest way to see if a grocery store can answer the question, "Where can I buy Archway Christmas cookies" is to scout the cookie aisle and find the Salerno cookies. That's because Archway Bakery also distributes the Salerno brand cookies. Some sections of Archway cookies are small areas, taking up one shelf or two, sometimes even less. If there are Archway and Salerno cookies stocked there, the chances are good that that store will carry Archway Christmas cookies.

Ask an employee (preferably someone on the management staff) if there is an Archway representative for that store. You see, most companies that stock potato chips, soda pop, or cookies use district representatives to come into the store, check stocks, order, and merchandise product. First, knowing that there is an Archway rep for the store is a good indicator that a constant flow of new and seasonal Archway products will pass through the store. Second, you might be able to get in contact with the representative in order to ask him or her what they will carry for the Christmas season.

Major Stores that carry Archway and will probably carry Archway Christmas cookies:

  • Target: Target has good relationships with their vendors, so if you wish to get some inside info, befriend the grocery manager so you can befriend the Archway/Salerno rep.
  • Walmart: Walmart will have a good amount of selection and should be in stock for most of the season. The prices will most likely be the cheapest.
  • Kmart: It's possible that Kmart might have higher prices, but you can use Kmart as a last resort if the local area is running low and you have a huge addiction.
  • Jewel-Osco: If it's a major grocery retailer, then they should have the cookies.

You will probably not have any luck going to the local mom and pop grocery stores because keeping quantities on hand may not be beneficial or profitable. If you know the owners or the person who orders product, don’t feel bad if you use that friendship for cookie requests. A strategy like this might work in smaller towns where there is only a tiny grocery store and you are far from a big-time grocery store.

Where Can I Buy Archway Christmas Cookies

A couple of unique spots to find out where you can buy Archway Christmas Cookies is through online grocers.

  • Since Amazon.com sells groceries, it's easier for an Internet entity to develop relationships with companies that can sell to virtually the whole world. Amazon uses a "pre-order" sign-up system where you can be notified when certain items become available. They do this for music, movies and books, and you can also sign up to see when the Archway Christmas cookies are available for ordering.
  • If you have the delivery Peapod service available in your area, then you can search for Archway Christmas cookie products and have them delivered to your door. You must sign up for an account and be advised that Peapod may not be available in all areas.
  • At Online Grocery Shopping, you can search by state and zip code to see if there is grocery delivery in your area. If you find that you can get grocery deliveries, then search on the number of sites for Archway Christmas cookies. Remember that a steady flow of Archway cookies won't be consistent until the third or fourth week of October.
