Mike - With RD... This is what we need to confirm, if there is a way.... Is this permanent? many products get shelf space for trial runs, is Marani in a program like that.

Also the Costco thing does have me concerned on the overhype meter... They will be in 12 local costcos in a particular region. They do not yet have their company bar code yet, do they? (and by that I mean a product registered in the Costco enterprise system) Look I know from experience that regional section of a Costco or Walmart, have a certain level of autonomy when it comes to placing local product on shelves as a way to measure success. Typically these are temporary programs. Is this the kind of program they are under? Doesn't Costco do their system catalogue in October? Not until that cataloging happens will it be available to the whole Costco system of stores. I wonder if this is the case... I may be wrong, but DD is DD right? So this is an angle that needs to be nailed down. Is this a trial period... are they listed in the whole system for any Costco to sell - pending distribution network?
