Schnucks put it all on clearance and at Dierbergs the shelves indicate Power Pearls are being discontinued in the store...
Hope Persil isn't being discontinued in the USA...

Saw
Persil at Target, but not the pearls. Walmart had Pearls, but not for a long while?
Wonder what's up? Targets website says Pearls can be ordered?

It's def not being discontinued considering that Henkel purchased Sun and then discontinued Wisk...Persil is taking Wisk's place in the line up. I've only see the Pearls at a few stores honestly....Wal Mart, yes...plus a few random food stores. My local Target did not have any.

Has been out of stock of Persil for quite sometime. Not sure what is going on, but it must be something...

I'm thinking it is more a merchandising agreement, rather than a product problem.
Some of the smaller stores may be downsizing the products due to limited space. The Wal-Mart I frequent had a full supply.

Around here it doesn't get much shelf space at all in any store.
Only a few odd bottles
Left at the Walmart here.
Oh well. I guess if they're phasing it out we will still be able to get the real German deal at Germandeli.com

Highly doubt Persil is being "phased out".
One wouldn't expect Henkel/Dial to throw in the proverbial towel so quickly.
Henkel recently acquired Sun Products, so there is that going on as well.
Have *never* seen the American Persil *perls* in shop shelves outside of K-Sears on Astor Place.
Could be Henkel/Dial is doing some adjustments and coming out with new formats/formulas as well as getting shot of things that didn't move.
We know from P&G that when versions of Tide or whatever suddenly go on sale or clearance, they aren't long for this world, and something new is coming.

"... discontinued Wisk...Persil is taking Wisk's pla
Wisk is still on the shelves at my nearby Target. I bought some recently and felt it performed like the bargain brand it has sadly become.
One thing Persil surely isn't is a bargain brand. Maybe Persil is taking Wisk's shelf space, but it's not replacing Wisk in any other sense.
I think it's way too early for Persil to be throwing in the towel, so to speak. Unseating Tide as a top seller isn't going to happen overnight, but I certainly wish them well. I like Persil and I don't buy any Tide/P&G detergents anymore since they introduced their "for both" HE and traditional machine formulas. I would absolutely buy Persil before I'd ever buy Tide or Gain even if Persil cost a little more, but I tend to wait for sale pricing.

Wisk is rated just below the regular Persil on CR ratings...it's actually a very good detergent. They have rated it very high for years. My Target is now out of it. I bought what I thought were the last 2 bottles about a month ago, but then the whole shelf was restocked. I think we will see it around for quite a while yet. My local bargain store (Ocean State Job Lot) had a ton of the smaller bottles.
Since I started using Wisk after my ginormous box of Sears detergent is gone, I have noticed some residual stains gone. It's clearly better than the Sears detergent anyway haha.

Walgreens
still has Persil fully stocked with shelf labels that say "new lower price"

Schnucks has stocked it
on the shelves again, back to full price. Maybe they just wanted to get the old stuff off the shelves so it would all have the 10 dimensions of clean stuff on the labels

I guess the universal powder will still have to come from Germany?
Walmart here hasn't had Persil powder on the shelves for months and space alotted to the liquids and pods seems minimal.
Walgreens had Persil (liquids?) in their sale tabloid recently but I haven't been there to confirm. I rarely go to Walgreens.

Our local Walmart has the entire line on the shelf. Since I had coupons I bought several big bottles of 2in1, and several bottles of original powder w/pearls. I was so happy to see them so prominently displayed and well stocked
