CLUB MATE

Guest

Club mate is THE trend drink. You see it everywhere in Germany, but unfortunately in Switzerland Club-Mate is only available in select stores at fairly high prices. It's a mystery to me how none of the major distributors have this product on their shelves yet!

I can only agree with fratag! It's a shame that Migros doesn't have Club Mate in its range!

I have to agree with both of them here. If Migros jumps on the hype now, they would be pioneers in the Club Mate business, which is sure to explode sooner or later.

Since the Migros Gen. Zurich has included Vivi Cola in its range, I think the Migros Cooperative Zurich is most likely to agree to include the product in its range.

I don't think Migros would add a non-Migros beverage to its range just because of three Migipedia newcomers, who are probably all one and the same person anyway. "Club Mate" also fits in with the range of Coop megastores.

Edit:
After writing the comment, I looked on the Swiss website of Club Mate to see where it is available here. Among other places, it is available at the Prodega stores, which belongs to Transgourmet. This in turn is owned by the Coop Group.

Hello everyone, thank you for your suggestion. We have asked our drinks people. Unfortunately, we have to disappoint you. There are no plans to include Club Mate in our range. They will certainly have their reasons for this decision. But they are not allowed to reveal them.

Are you all from the Zurich cooperative? Should we also ask there? The cooperatives determine their own product range and can offer products in their region that are not available in the other cooperatives. Let us know if you would like us to add your request there too.

Kind regards

Dear Tirza, thank you very much for your quick reply. For me, no consultation with the Zurich cooperative is necessary as I am not from the Gegens.
To AlMiDeCoLi: Thank you for your research. However, I am not the same person as the following comments, also I highly doubt that the request for Club Mate is limited to 3 people. This part of your comment is simply unnecessary and doesn't help anyone.

I have also enjoyed drinking mate for many years, but I have now (almost) given up hope that I will one day be able to buy it from Migros (or Coop if necessary) instead of from a drinks wholesaler. I buy a few crates there every 1-2 months, the mate doesn't go bad. Prices are just under 2 CHF/bottle (plus deposit). Still more expensive than in supermarkets in Germany, but at least much cheaper than in Drinks of the World etc.

Just now I happened to see that mate is also available at LeShop:https://www.leshop.ch/de/supermarket/getranke/getranke/energiegetranke-wellnessgetranke-da I'm put off by the delivery charges, but maybe there's still hope for some Migros cooperatives...
