$3.50...
The sidelines IS NOT the place to be here!

As the World Turns had a storyline like GOED back in the early 90s. I think production has been shut down on them

Hear, hear!!
Now Kanen, STHU!
LMAO!

September 23 2021
On September 23, 2021, 1847 Goedeker Inc. sent the following letter to J. Carlo Cannell:
September 23, 2021
Mr. Cannell,
The leadership of 1847 Goedeker Inc. (“Goedeker” or the “Company”) is in receipt of your letter dated September 23, 2021.
You are likely aware that Goedeker has made a good faith proposal to invite Kanen Wealth Management (“Kanen”) into our ongoing director refresh process. You are also likely aware that we were in the process of proactively interviewing one of Kanen’s director candidates before Kanen publicly nominated five individuals for election to the Company’s nine-member Board. The suggestion that we have not tried to engage with Kanen and resolve Kanen’s campaign is false, and troubling to me as a devoted executive, director and sizable stockholder.
In an effort to ensure Goedeker’s stockholders do not draw the wrong conclusions, I feel compelled to highlight the below points that were omitted from what I consider to be your misleading public letter. As a long-term investor spending all of his energy and time trying to build a lasting foundation for growth, I am concerned by your firm’s ongoing efforts to gain outsized access to management throughout the quarter and glean an information advantage over your fellow stockholders.
· Goedeker’s leadership spent more than an hour-and-a-half on the phone with your firm just last month following the Company’s second quarter earnings call. This followed a string of prior interactions. This context was omitted from your letter.
· When your firm requested another call with multiple members of the management team this month, your Research Associate, Oleg Karmanov, shared a lengthy list of business, financial and operational questions in writing. We would not feel comfortable addressing some of these questions during the middle of a quarter and certainly not in a siloed manner that would not provide all stockholders the benefit of fair disclosure. This context about your firm’s agenda for another, mid-quarter business update call was omitted from your letter.
· In order to avoid creating an unfair two-tier system for investor relations and to ensure management can focus on value creation during this pivotal post-combination period, I feel providing your firm at least eight extended interactions per year with leadership is sufficient and strong. This includes a lengthy one-to-one call each quarter following our broader earnings call, which includes a Q&A your firm can participate in. Our representative made you aware of these considerations. This context was omitted from your letter.
· To demonstrate our respect for your status as a meaningful stockholder, our representative informed you that we plan to proactively reach out to schedule your post-earnings Q3 call to go over business, financial and operational items. This context was omitted from your letter.
· In addition, our representative asked that you make us aware if there were other issues you wanted to discuss, beyond business, financial and operational items that may not be appropriate to discuss one-to-one with you. This context was omitted from your letter.
Out of respect for your firm and you, the Company will not make your associate’s exchanges public.
If you would like to schedule a call with leadership or send us a constructive, private note about your specific input into our ongoing director refresh, we would be happy to receive that feedback. Any suggestions you have for director candidates with appliances, ecommerce and relevant capital markets experience are also welcomed. But your firm has made no such private overtures to date, as far as I am aware.
While you and Kanen may find it beneficial in the short-term to grandstand and engage in public hostilities, I am confident that a majority of my fellow stockholders will look unfavorably upon efforts to distract the Company’s leadership from the pursuit of sustainable, profitable growth and long-term value. I believe Goedeker’s stockholders recognize that it has been roughly three months since closing the Appliances Connection transaction and one month since our management transition. I suspect that stockholders focused on long-term value will deem it appropriate to provide a new chief executive officer a runway to replicate prior success and surround himself with a qualified team.
Regards,
Albert Fouerti
I mean people who WISELY bought in after the cash was raised!
Is this confusing?
you mean the
GOED longs from Jan 1 - May 27th of just this year are now somehow happy?
or just the last week to this week trader (never hold longer than your breath) “longs”?
I wonder if the GOED story line gonna
have Brantley Foster and Christy Willis make a play on the GOED board
Man, making all this money really sucks!
Congrats to longs!
storyline getting better!
I think GOED must have added some General Hospital writers, too!
is Cyrus trying to take out Sonny? like GOED plot
hopefully they don’t make it a cliffhanger episode here
biting my nails oh my
Yes, those poor newbies... making money and all...
that’s a smart move
this way GOED will provide no interference to the massive rent invoices that will be paid which just so happens to be within arms length reach of the company’s executives who are involved with the ownership of the buildings that maintains leases to this public entity
cut those checks on the 1st of the month (you don’t want a “late” fee)
oh the poor GOED newbies
Yes, nice day...
I think GOED is an EXCELLENT risk/reward at these prices!
GOED Nice day!
I'm hearing Kanen doesn't add anything. That they are just seeing the nice potential we are seeing and want to grab it.
Their slate has no experience in the appliance biz.
I say ignore them, vote for current management and board.

1847 Goedeker Issues Letter to Stockholders
Regarding Leadership Team’s Vision and Strategy
ST. CHARLES, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--1847 Goedeker Inc. (NYSE American: GOED) ("Goedeker" or the "Company"), one of the largest specialty ecommerce players in the U.S. household appliances market, today issued the below letter, signed by recently-appointed Chief Executive Officer Albert Fouerti, to the Company’s stockholders. As a reminder, Goedeker’s inaugural Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, November 10, 2021. Further information regarding the Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company's notice of the Annual Meeting, proxy statement and other proxy materials. Stockholders are not being asked to take action at this time.
Fellow Stockholder,
I recently accepted the Chief Executive Officer role at 1847 Goedeker Inc. (“Goedeker” or the “Company”) for a simple reason: the Company has a unique opportunity to become the pure play ecommerce leader in the $32 billion U.S. home appliances category. My goal is to build a world-class business that ultimately holds a double-digit share of the category. That is why I am devoting all of my energy and time to implementing the type of strategy that produced years of growth for Appliances Connection, Inc. (“Appliances Connection”) prior to the combination with Goedeker.
With this context in mind, I want to stress that Goedeker is only beginning its pursuit of scale and market leadership. We just closed the Appliances Connection transaction in June and initiated a management transition in August. We are still integrating the two businesses and putting the pieces in place to offer customers unrivaled selection, the most competitive pricing, faster shipping and a differentiated ecommerce experience that allows them to conceptualize appliances in their homes. Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for customers to execute orders through a click of the mouse or a phone call.
Fortunately, we have the right people and the right plan to accelerate the integration and speed up our foundation-building phase. I am confident enough in our prospects that I recently added to my sizable stockholdings by purchasing 330,000 shares on the open market. My interests remain squarely aligned with yours.
In an effort to lay the groundwork for sustainable and profitable growth, our leadership is seeking to replicate the playbook that underpinned Appliances Connection’s success. This includes:
• Ensuring expansive product selection. Due to our specialization in home appliances and strong relationships with suppliers, we are providing customers expanded access to core, premium and luxury brands. This includes upgraded and environmentally-friendly products as well as more private label offerings. We believe this is a distinct value proposition that will continue to set Goedeker apart from brick-and-mortar retailers and larger ecommerce companies that treat home appliances like one component of a massive product catalog. Although there are near-term inventory headwinds due to supply chain disruptions, we are leveraging our new economies of scale and purchasing power to obtain as much inventory as possible. We expect demand for our products to remain strong for the foreseeable future due to the thriving housing economy.
1
• Prioritizing competitive pricing. Thanks to our economies of scale and technology capabilities, we are now offering the minimum advertised price approximately 88%-92% of the time. We believe our consumer-friendly pricing can become even more enticing once supply chain constraints ease and suppliers increase promotions that Goedeker can pass along to customers. We will continue to invest in best-in-class pricing algorithms and the latest insights to adjust pricing in as close to real-time as possible.
• Providing fast and reliable shipping via a growing fulfillment network. We are in the process of expanding our fulfillment network to provide cost-effective, quicker and more dependable shipping. Given our expanding customer bases in the southeast and southwest, we are identifying well-positioned fulfillment centers in Florida, Texas and California. Our thorough cost-benefit analysis leads us to believe that establishing facilities in these geographies will limit the number of delivery transfers and touches on orders, thereby reducing shipping expenses and minimizing the likelihood of product damage that spurs customer dissatisfaction.
• Strengthening customer service. We are replicating the Appliances Connection customer care model at Goedeker. This means building a customer care team that is instinctively accommodative and exceptionally well-versed when it comes to our products. Our team is already cutting down on call wait times and improving online response times. We are doing everything in our power to drive lifetime customer loyalty.
• Maintaining a best-in-class technology stack and digital marketing presence. Since joining the Company, I have been working with our teams to ensure that the integrated Appliances Connection and Goedeker fulfillment network has the very best warehouse management and logistics systems. This will allow us to better track our existing inventory and emerging needs, ultimately helping mitigate margin erosion. We are also optimizing the Company’s front-end technology, including our web properties and pay-per-click marketing programs.
• Initiating a rebrand that will result in Appliances Connection and Goedeker operating under one brand. We have retained a top marketing agency to help us establish an inviting, memorable brand that can maintain lifetime customer loyalty. Taking this step will allow us to have one website, one marketing strategy and one set of customer analytics. We expect this rebrand to be a strong tailwind for us once it is finalized in early 2022.
Although we guided significant revenue growth for fiscal year 2021 in our August 12th earnings release, our opportunity is long-term in nature. I firmly believe that executing on the aforementioned initiatives in the coming quarters will give us the opportunity to grow sustainably and profitably for years to come. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and I are committed to seizing meaningful market share – not being a niche player.
2
I also want to take this opportunity to note that we have been working to strengthen our corporate governance over the past quarter, including by:
• Appointing Ellery W. Roberts, who is a meaningful stockholder, as Executive Chairman. Ellery, who possesses significant capital markets acumen and strategic planning experience, is the ideal partner for our management team. He is actively involved in our capital allocation decisions and efforts to unlock post-transaction business efficiencies. His willingness to assume a larger role as Executive Chairman allows the management team to devote more of its time to accretive, revenue-generating actions.
• Adding Alan P. Shor as a director. Alan, who has significant specialty retail experience, previously drove an impressive turnaround at Zales Corporation. He subsequently co-founded the Retail Connection, which is a specialized banking and advisory firm for retailers. He has been a tremendous asset to the management team since joining the Board this past summer.
• Carrying out an ongoing refresh of the Board. The Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee has been working to identify new directors with experience in ecommerce, home appliances, fulfillment and the capital markets. We are working to appoint individuals with skillsets aligned to our greatest needs and opportunities. The search process is well underway and includes input from our stockholders, and we expect to add new directors in the near-term.
We look forward to receiving continued feedback from stockholders – both large and small – on our strategy and efforts to strengthen the Company’s corporate governance. What we do not welcome, however, is the costly, disruptive and unwarranted activist campaign recently initiated by Kanen Wealth Management (“Kanen”). You may be aware that Kanen has publicly nominated five director candidates and is seeking to obtain control of the Board and, in turn, your Company. It is disappointing that Kanen insists on running this type of potentially destabilizing campaign after claiming to support my appointment as Chief Executive Officer and while the Company is running a publicly-disclosed Board refreshment process that has taken into account stockholder input.
I look forward to engaging with you in the weeks leading up to the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders about our Board, the business and the significant opportunities ahead of us under my leadership.
Thank you for your investment in Goedeker and for your consideration and support.
Sincerely,
Albert Fouerti

hahahahahahaha
all wiped clean now
isn’t GOED fully leveraged on their credit facility? 60-70 MM line?
after the offering….why no pay down or no borrow at all?
at least shareholders got the vaseline yesterday before the shareholders meeting
enjoy!
The past is the past...
Clean slate here, new management, and a ton of cash!
everything I have written is fact
and of course i’m entitled to my GOED opinion
anyone can go back and read all of my statements
let me know which one is not true
no more written order sales vs real nonsense - what type of company does that besides smoke and mirrors? but they don’t do it anymore ……
company shopped deal for years no takers then crushed shareholders with that pennies on the dollar offering with a kicker!!! and to who? and how much did the insiders pocket? on the shareholders back
owners of merged companies have arms length control at worse of the real estate and the % hikes are insane!
…………..
and now ….the storyline of hostile takeovers ……
Sorry, but I wouldn't be here if it is a scam!
I expose scams... it is what I do.
If it was a scam... I'D BE THE ONE POINTING IT OUT... and with facts, not words!
GOED - SCAM
company is and always was garbage
insiders got filthy rich on the shareholders backs
sell on the next pump- which should be by or before the shareholders meeting
NEWBIES BEWARE!!!
GOED storyline here is better than All My Children soap opera plot
Adam’s twin brother was really Adam. Erica Kane was fooled l!!
Don’t let that be you !!!!!!
true
but if i could save just one newbee just one oh the joy it would bring to me
free yourselves newbies fly away like a beautiful butterfly
GOED joy and pain
<HINT>
iHub opinions have 0.00% impact on GOED's price...
GOED PUMP & DUMP
don’t fall for the takeover nonsense - company has nothing exciting going on
company shopped a deal for years with nothing there nobody wanted it then and there’s no one that’s gonna fight for it now
they had to create the absolute worst offering possible to get paid
bag holders galore
great storyline with a lot of vaseline
all in my opinion
when in doubt
add in a-whole-nother level of garbage made up speculation
about some group that’s upside down taking it over
company had no takers for years then put together a crushing deal that torched so many investors
hopefully now that the stock is all boxed in some of the old retail bag holders can make their way out of it on any rally probably just before that shareholder meeting
-at least they did some vaseline prep work which is very nice
my opinion only but what do I know
GOED So it looks like kanen is trying to get control of the company with the slate he put forth. Maybe we'll get a bidding war for GOED? Or a white might come in.
Hold on to yer shares. Maybe stop trading for a while 'til we see where this goes.
MG
BTW, Good dig with that news today, SB!
GOED Good update from Goedeker!
I picked up smore today, and smore crypto
And snorted a bio
We are going to do great with GOED, in time. I love getting promising plays like GOED. Allows setting and forgetting, enabling other work be done.
MG
this GOED storyline is starting to remind me of
was that
the vaseline?
GOED makes me

GOED Exactly. Rather than distracting GOED with his criticism, Fund Manager Kanen should be spending five years on a site like ihub honing his trading skills. The average price for his GOED hold @ $3.85 is too high. He did something wrong along the way.

do you have inside information?
what reason do you have that GOED will have a good Monday?
today is Sunday, right!
the best thing is
after these exorbitant GOED rent increases annihilate the bottom line…..
the tax portion gonna increase when they have to report to NYC the windfall of rent annually
higher rent = higher property valuation
and the cycle of the financial death circle continues ….
hopefully next hurricane season comes early for better margins!
GOED newbies pain ..ouch!

GOED Kanen's pedigree doesn't impress much. But he's allowed to voice his opinion, as I am and any shareholder. The company can absorb anything good we point out and quickly disregard the rest.
The big thing is the company should not allow themselves to be distracted.
Keep their eye on the prize!

2.5% GOED rent increase per month x 12 x lifetime???

All in the Family
is
the new CEO buying all that stock with the overpriced GOED rent they receive through the family triangle?
and what is his new cost basis —.001 or is it higher?
asking for a friend
Something rarely seen: A hedge fund CEO with only a bachelors degree in marketing, and from a lackluster school... University of Jacksonville. His background... a stock broker.
I'm very familiar with Build-A-Bear, too. Kanen's gripes are on the mark. But I wouldn't touch its stock. Smart people have tried to right BBW for decades.
Clearly sour grapes from investing in GOED at a higher share price!
Boohoo...
Average down... that's how it is done!
"KANEN WEALTH MANAGEMENT LLC" owns 4,792,742 GOED shares, about 4.5% of GOED's shares. Value was $18 million on last 13-F filing.
"Kanen Wealth Management is based out of Coral Springs. Kanen Wealth Management is a hedge fund with 111 clients and discretionary assets under management (AUM) of $191,823,428 (Form ADV from 2021-03-31). Their last reported 13F filing for Q2 2021 included $438,128,500 in managed 13F securities and a top 10 holdings concentration of 87.34%."

[part 2] "The problem, Kanen says, is leadership. The company [GOED] recently replaced CEO Doug Moore, who oversaw the decline, with Fouerti, who Kanen supports. But the board members that hired Moore remain.
Those same board members were also on duty when leadership made the decision in May to sell shares — well below market value — to raise money for the acquisition, sending the share prices tumbling. A few days later, the company gave Moore a raise and $150,000 bonus.
“They’ve demonstrated the ability to consistently make bad decisions,” Kanen said. He proposed replacements from CarParts.com and other successful companies.
Build-A-Bear is in better shape. Surging consumer spending driven by government stimulus fueled some of the best quarters in company history in the first half of 2021. The share price has more than tripled since Jan. 1.
But it’s still about half as high as it was in its mid-aughts heyday, when the company could rely on its shopping mall storefronts. It posted a net loss for the past decade. And while executives talk about parlaying the pandemic bump into more permanent growth, Kanen is skeptical. He said in his letter that despite making $20 million since John took the top job in June 2013, revenue for the past 12 months was 10% lower than it was in her first full year.
"Kanen wants the company to partner with chains like AMC Theatres and Chuck E. Cheese to set up stores within stores and multiply its reach with little cost. He also wants a pet toy line to sell at PetSmart and Petco, which he thinks could add $50 million a year in revenue — a 10% bump from 2019’s haul. And he wants leadership to try something like NFTs, the digital collectible items that exploded in popularity among cryptocurrency enthusiasts earlier this year.
John told Kanen in an earnings call last month that the company is working on a pet toy plan and is in the process of upgrading its online ordering experience, another thing he wants to see.
Kanen hopes it’s true. If John follows through, he thinks the company could see big gains.
But if she doesn’t, within about a year, he’ll be calling for a new CEO."
