Am I the only one with some reservations about the demand here? I mean, we know Dan Senters history, but I guess my question still remains, was he successful at his other jobs? How do you make a move from Safeway to Marani? Was the departure on amicable terms or was he let go or...?
Just curious, because I'm still a little concerned with the timeline I guess. When we were set to go with distribution in CA, I expected more than 1 store and 1 distributor off the bat. I got the impression we were ready to roll out all over CA, not just one place. Thought there was such high demand, but it sounds like they've got a lot of marketing to do to convince distributors in CA this is legit or it'd be on shelves by now, no?
I really want to believe bigger things are to come, but I'm trying to look at this from a logical perspective. That there's no reason this wouldn't already be in multiple distributors' hands, and multiple stores for that matter, unless the demand just wasn't there.
Is all of this talk about demand and more stores and more distributors hot air? I still think you can't keep a good product down, but revenues have to be there early. I don't think this can wait too long trying to drum up interest. If interest isn't there, we're in for a bumpy ride.
I hope you guys are right. That Dan is the man. That the demand is there. That more distributors/retailers are to come. I just find it strange that one distributor has it. And one retailer. With a sizable lag in between.
