Why don't they sell cheesecakes any more?

Our local Kroger's has about 10 different flavors of Maria Calander pies. But no cheesecakes. I used to love Sara Lee cheesecakes when I was a kid. Is it no longer popular?

2. What if you asked your store to carry them?

My guess would be that they are expensive to make, so they are expensive to sell, and so people choose to buy an alternative.

Whole Foods still sells them.

I'll bet they're expensive to make. That said, Costco sells them for a ridiculously low price. It's probably another item like the roasted chickens that they lose money on.

Cheesecakes were 2 for 5 … love them but gotta watch intake..waist and tolerance. Later I’m getting in life the lactose intolerance is getting worse. Don’t need an air of trump around me.

Come on up…sales on all week.

8. That's weird. My local Kroger has 3 types of Sara Lee cheesecakes plus 3 other brands.

Some flaw in the supply chain, perhaps. It is certainly not a universal shortage.
