Agreed. Let's get it back in Missouri and Florida and hopefully expand. Definitely get it back online.
Having Apple Rush available again will get this kicked off. The sooner the better.
People are on the sidelines until it actually happens. When it does you will see a pretty good rise in the PPS
I actually don't think it's that big of an "if" at this point, so I'm actually surprised that we haven't seen a bump yet. He secured capital and is doing major things with it that will all move the business seed to sale. I think maybe because we've had so many false starts is why investors haven't really noticed yet, but I think it'll happen.
"If" Tony follows through on his plans it could be,this stock moves easy, very thin.But Tony following through is a big "if".
Pennies ???? Hahaha your so funny. Wishful thinking pal
This stock should be in the pennies soon! It has many new plans and products and I think that getting the Apple Rush cans available online, in stores and on amazon again will do it, along with so many other new revenue streams, and a place to bottle and can small batches. Large batch orders will follow. Never thought Covid would send this down so far. But glad to see the management team working hard to make this company succeed and grow.
That helps. The TTB has issued at least......
31 COLA's to Lena Beverage Company Inc. with Lena Brewing Company on the label. Some are for bottles and some for various size kegs. They are listed as the brewer so it's not outside bottling, which is good.
The PR says they are going to acquire an LLC, but ILL SOS doesn't show an entity Lena Beverage, LLC. I guess it was just a typo. There's Lena Beverage Inc and Lena Brewing Inc, which are two different corporations.
What exactly do they intend to buy?
Lena Beverage is owned by six individuals per the ILL LCC and the license is good until the end of September.
VEHMEIER, ROSS PRESIDENT 33.21
KNOX, SHIRLEY CHAIRMAN 17.55
WIDEMAN, JEFFREY DIRECTOR 17.55
SCHLACHTER, TODD DIRECTOR 7.59
ACKERMAN, KURT DIRECTOR 7.59
MINDERMANN, FREDERICK DIRECTOR 5.69
So what is Lena Brewery Inc other than the establishment? What is their interest in Lena Beverage, who is the brewer of record?
Seems like a move in the right direction, but it would be nice to have more clarity.

On their "about us" page. Here is a distributor that has Lena listed as a brand:
https://lamonicabeverages.com/our-brands/lena-brewing-co/
If you use the product locator you can find their products in a lot of locations including liquor stores. Here's just one place I found it:

Here's a video of them canning beverages:
https://m.facebook.com/lenabrewingcompany/videos/the-coffee-stout-is-canned-and-ready/4613625748678402/?__so__=permalink&__rv__=related_videos
I believe that equipment is visible in the photo I posted earlier.
There are a number of places in and around Rockford that carry it. Next time I am there I will look in a couple stores for it if I have time.
Where do you see cans sold in local establishments?.....
That would be a good thing if the canning was on site and/or local to Lena.
I did not say the brewery was capable of distribution. Based on the PR they want to expand their distribution network using APRUs connections.
They sell the beverages in cans in "local establishments" so they might have canning equipment onsite, or at least someone who can do canning for them.
Distribute how? It's a brewery. They can......
fill kegs, but not bottles and cans. The license if for on-site consumption. They would need to retrofit/build out, correct?
If the numbers are right, I think it's a good acquisition. I have always said start local.
Wisconsin, but I visit people in Rockford every so often so I might extend a trip to see it if the deal works out.
Where do you live, if you don't mind saying?
I'm originally from IL (Peoria), but no longer there (don't live in the US, at the moment).
I'm not too far from there either. If the acquisition goes through or if I happen to be passing by I'll check it out.
Based on the PR, both parties seem more focused on the drink distribution than the restuarant but it's a great way to get people to try the drinks and test new products.
Here's Lena Brewing's website: http://www.lenabrewing.com
Is Tony intending on acquiring just the brewery or the whole company? To answer my own question, it looks like, from the LOI, that he wants to acquire the whole company. They have a restaurant with entertainment (I might stop in and throw a few axes. HA!!). Maybe Tony can link this place with the place in St. Louis. I don't mean to necessarily merge them, but they can advertise each other.
I'm putting the cart before the horse. Let's wait to see if the LOI becomes an actual acquisition.
$APRU
In one of his videos, Tony talked about the company acquiring its own brewery so as not to depend on other breweries. Maybe Lena is it. We'll have to wait and see if the deal goes through. I'm thinking Tony wants the deal to go through, but he might be doing some DD on Lena, now.
$APRU
So do I. This acquisition can finally get us getting product out to customers. I need my Apple Rush.
Didn't mean to imply it was a done deal. I do hope it works out though.
If it does goes through maybe volume will finally pick up.
I have a feeling Tony will go through with the acquisition like he's gone through with previous acquisitions. Don't engrave this in stone, though, until it actually happens.
$APRU
It's only an LOI right now.
Picture of the brewery equipment. Decent number of tanks. Great acquisition for APRU.

Oh yea good point.
$APRU has been stalled for longer than a few days. Everyone's just waiting. Tony was quiet for a long time, but he's been issuing video updates and PR's over the last couple months. I suppose people want to see if things develop from these and whether he continues with these updates on a regular basis.
Is it me or have we just stalled for the last few days? I thought that the news would have started some movement of the stock.
I wish we could get through that 3 million or so on the ask. When it pops, it's going to fly!
Yeah, goodness. It's been slow here for a while now.
Great news. Now let's get the volume cranking.

I think that's the last PR. The latest is about the LOI with Lena Brewing. They are licensed for hemp production which is great.

Nice consolidation happening from .0018-.002, similar to May 2020 before it ran up to .017.
But even more news coming out weekly.
I like how it’s going this year, may not be a rocket now. But once last puzzle pieces come together, and can really start to sell , people will be chasing.
Quiet before the storm.
We’ll see, bud..
#doinitright
GLTA!!
It means what it says chief!
What does that mean, chief?
Hey Tony, Just so you understand what my MOTIVE is and by the way you're email that you sent to my phone will not turn out to be good for you. You can fool some of the people here but I see right through you. That light that you see at the end of the tunnel, IS A TRAIN!!!
To the moon my ass, this is one of the biggest scams in the otc market.
To the moon ! ( Of the trading range )
Anybody else notice 7mil appear on the bid at .0018 a few minutes before close?
Tony addressed the problems with producing product in other people's breweries in the video I posted earlier. This is why he's looking for one that Apple Rush Company can own outright. Owning their own brewery means they can produce product whenever they want and it whatever quantities they want without depending on other breweries.
$APRU is a work in progress. Sit on your hands and do something else while things unfold over the next few years. I apologize on behalf of Tony for things not happening in a NY minute.
I'm glad you acknowledge the difficulties producing product has had a negative impact in sales. You're right; it's smart of Tony to address this!

Dear Shareholders:
I am writing today to update you on several different initiatives we have been working on over the last six months, as well as a communication flow adjustment.
“Element C has the same great tasting juice base as Apple Rush, doesn’t have an undesirable aftertaste or chalky style residue, is lower in calories and is infused
with 25mg of Hemp CBD. After extensive R&D we are proud to release a CBD beverage that is easy drinking."
"We are continually implementing strategic planning and negotiating to reduce our existing outstanding shares in our comprehensive plan to increase shareholder value. We will continually be working to reduce our outstanding shares to reward the investors that have put their faith in us."
"I stated in our last press release that we would be adding on our success as a company by the final cleanup and up-listing our shares. Our plans are still to complete an audit and file to become a fully reporting company sometime during the second quarter of 2020."
"We have been quiet the last couple of months while preparing for the explosive growth plans for Apple Rush in 2020. This growth includes an operational plan
that will expand distribution to the entire country and to several International locations as well. We have spent an enormous amount of time and energy working with our team to build the foundation for the future.” Our new COO, to be officially announced in the near future added, “Charging into 2020 with such a diverse portfolio and on the cusp of such powerful emerging markets, I believe APRU will be making waves and growing significantly as a profitable leader in the world of CPG and CBD."
