I'm trying to find "mild flavor molasses" for a barbecue sauce recipe that I found. I do not know where to find such a thing but more importantly I'm not familiar with any brands of the stuff. So what should I look for and will my normal grocer carry it (eg Kroger, Walmart, Meijer)?

Light molasses. Or use less dark and add white sugar.

Grandma's brand is the only brand we can get here in California on a consistant basis and I am sure they are available in most stores nationwide.  I usually use the original (yellow label) version which is not too strong but I would stay away from their 'robust' green label it is much stronger though wonderful when you want that punch of flavor in spice cake, cookies etc...  If you look around the baking section of the store you should find the molasses and if you stay away from 'blackstrap' or 'robust' you will probably be fine.   You may sub 1/4 to 1/2 of the volume with honey or as MaryB said plain white sugar and not loose all that wonderful molasses flavor.   I would stick with the honey to be sure to have no grainyness but either should work if its a medium to long cooked sauce to make sure the crystals all dissolve.
