Interesting read, though it would appear that's no longer the case: https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=Snapper&cat_id=5428_11...

But what happens a lot of times is that the US company will produce a low-cost version in China and sell that exclusively in Wal-Mart.

Not sure if this is the case with Snapper (article doesn't say), but that's typically how they get back into the stores.
