I should have product late this week or really early next. They started bottling Thursday and Friday, but we have 7,200 ordered for the first run and that takes them a little time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll go out tomorrow UPS. As far as the vendors go, we wanted to make sure that this thing would grow and sell. I didn't take any investors because if this was going to win or fail it was going to be because of me. I do have one distribution outlet that will take us to a more regional level, but that all comes at a cost. I don't know if this thing grows with us just plopping the product out there.....we usually have people vouching for the product or reviewing it and that is how we started. In July of 2019 we had about 20 stores selling our product, I expect that number to top 100 this year. Slow growth is good with me, I just need to make sure we grow this business the right way. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bud who has started and brought a few food/ beverage company's to market all with the end game plan to sell to the big boys .

I could never keep up at this point. In the beginning we made it at the restaurant but that would have never worked as busy as this had gotten. We hit 10,000 bottles sold in 6 months last year. I'm over 5k already so far with 2/3 of my stores throttled back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to put up a sign " limit 3 per customer" When human nature kicks in those who were going to buy one , will buy 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
