Anyone else notice that Walmart no longer stocks anything Weber.  No grills, accessories, even the lighter cubes.  I was in 3 different Walmarts this past week and nothing.

There's still a bunch of Weber stuff on WM website. Maybe they just haven't stocked up for the season?

I've been in a couple of stores, and all I've seen are a basic SJ and the Wally-World-exclusive 22" SJ Premium.

Is it actually sold by Wal Mart? Or a third-party vendor selling on their site?

Maybe the clientele walmart attracts has something to do with it?

All they ever carried was the basic black kettles and some accessories. They probably stopped carrying them because people like me always waited until close our season to buy it 75 percent off.

I think it has more to do with ReanimatedRobot's point than stereotyping people who shop at Walmart .

Count me in (blame me?) as one of the people who would wait for the accessories to go on clearance every fall before purchasing.  Was also able to get a 14" WSM on clearance there as well.  I for one, haven't seen anything outside of of the 22" "Jumbo Joe" for going on two seasons now.

Agree. Same goes for Target. Lifetime supply of 18" and 22" grates for $4 at EOS.  :)

It could also simply be disagreements between Weber and Walmart on pricing. Walmart is infamous for putting a squeeze on their purchase price from the manufacturer. Maybe Weber just had enough and decided it was better to stick with Online, Ace, and Home Depot.

Walmart also seems heavily invested in other grill brands such as Blackstone.
