If you live within reasonable driving distance of an Albertsons, you can get them there. Both Safeway and Albertsons carry the plain chocolate Pocky here in the East Bay. If the Albertson's in your area doesn't carry it, they're usually happy to order it for you.

Or if you want to expand your Pocky horizons, drive down to SF and go to Little Japan. There is a Pocky Store in the mall which has every single Pocky made! Its Pocky heaven! Its a veritable field trip of Pockyness! If you stick around too long there, you'll feel boxed in by Pockymania! Run don't walk and your daughter will think you're a Pocky Prince(ss).

I guess I'm spoiled. Pocky sticks are all over the place in our little Chinatown in Ottawa. I'm addicted to the bittersweet Men's Pocky at the moment.

out of curiosity, what do you pay for Pocky sticks? I pay about $1.29 CAD. However, I saw them at a novelty store for almost 4 bucks and laughed.

The junk shop (Ichiban Kan) in the Japantown mall has pocky cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else. You can pick up a case or three of pocky on your way to have sushi at Takara, Ino, or Kiss - the perfect excuse to drive across two bridges for pocky.
