I have an email in to Walgreen's asking if they'd sell me a truckload of Dannon water and deliver it.

Thanks.
My father in law works for a large distributor in the Chicago market...he said they would not do this, and also mentioned, they work on about 3% margin, so your savings would be pretty slim.
