Lovable could have stopped dealing with Walmart at any time.
I have a small business, I have allowed one of my customers to become 50% of my business. If they wanted to start dictating to me new terms and prices, I'd have three choices. Agree, Negotiate and hope. Walk away.
Lovable allowed themselves to be put in that situation, just like I have.
I'm trying to spread my customer base so I'm not caught in that jam, Lovale should have done the same thing.
It's not easy, I'm 62 now and my steam for business is running out but I'm still trying to do better/smarter every day.
That said, I buy US every chance I get. It's not easy, almost every major surf clothing brand and tee shirt manufacturer is making things offshore (Mexico & Central America included) American Apparel is one of our few good choices.
