It's a registered trademark of Wal-Mart Stores for use in chemicals and lubricants.

In Detroit they use stolen or bought bridge cards / snap benefits to buy ( fill in blank) and sell it in their party stores at inflated prices. Its the only city in America you can buy single cigarettes for a buck.

There's an independent gas station that sells super tech including diesel 15w40 quarts! They only take cash.
I think it would be a riot to open my own store, sell super tech oil for a buck a quart, and bring my own flyer in to force them to price match my cart full of cases.

I see st and chevron oil in most places here. I'm sure they buy it at wm to resel. Much better than the city star junk.

I read about a Canadian entrepreneur who has opened shop in British Columbia reselling stuff that he bought at Trader Joe's. He calls his business Pirate Joe's. Apparently TJ's is suing him for trademark infringement and other stuff. He's been cut off from buying stuff at several TJ's in Washington, and he's either worn disguises or sent employees to buy for him. He's not in trouble with the Canadian authorities since he pays duties on everything.

Are there any TJ's in Canada? Any in his province?
None in Canada, although I understand they've filed several trademarks in Canada. Oh - a federal judge dismissed the case.

The owner of the store said he's gladly give up his operation if TJ's would open stores in British Columbia.

Chevron lubricants are available from wholesalers specifically for resale. WM doesn't sell anything wholesale. You also can't get any WM house brands at Sam's Club, which does cater to resellers. I see Chevron Supreme for sale at Costco, and pretty much the only conventional oils sold at my local warehouses.
The thing I'm thinking is that the ST stuff is probably cheaper at retail than other brands at wholesale.

Wal Mart Canada has switched from the SuperTech name to "Tune It!"
Not sure why, seems like kind of a dumb name.

Very dumb, with an ugly logo. At least they didn't muck around with pricing or package sizes.
