Who WAS that? The creator of the ©Pounder, or the ©Neighborhood?
Sounds like you call center guys will be paid on...01/01/2008, (at 11:59 p.m., by a guy driving a pizza delivery truck, HAPPY NEW YEAR!)
(just curious,though,will the court accept Troptions in leu of payment of any said future fines?) lol..Garland should call them what they are: Mirages. And if I can get my friends to sell 50 Mirages, I'll receive 1(one)Shadow. And if I earn 10 Shadows, I'll be one sorry sun-burnt SOB!
You are correct, Judge Beemer. May this IHUB post be a warning to all...(and to those who can't speak Latin...Caveat Emptor means AVOID or PROCEED AT OWN RISK!!)lol
During my search for news concerning the Oconomowoc,Wis pizza store opening...I found this; a news story about a business owner not paying her employees. If you follow-up on the whole story, the angry employees actually were able to shut down the business by having city hall pull the conditional use permit. So JV better be careful where he doth tread. http://www.topix.com/city/oconomowoc-wi/2007/06/alexis-michael-lake-manor-b-b-owner-failed-to-pay-minors
Sorry,SY,I just wanted to point it out, since 'those who ignore historical mistakes, are bound to repeat them in the future'
That Was Exhibit "A",do you need more Your Honor, Sir?
UPZS News:
June 1 - Unique Pizza and Subs Looks to Expand Rapidly in Pittsburgh Market With Projected Sales of $13,285,300 by End of 2007
Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Other OTC: UPZS), a Delaware Corporation, has begun to expand its presence in its home market of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Over the next 60 days, Unique Pizza and Subs will be opening three new locations in Monaca, Wexford and Robinson Township. Unique Pizza and Subs is in various stages of negotiations with numerous prospective franchisees throughout Western Pennsylvania. Unique Pizza and Subs is projecting the opening of 6 (six) new stores and 25 (twenty-five) independent stores converted to UPZSs by the end of 2007 with total sales of $13,285,300.
James Vowler, President and CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs, stated, ''As the only publicly traded pizza franchise that is headquartered in Pittsburgh, we are extremely excited about our growth throughout Western Pennsylvania. I designed Unique Pizza and Subs from its conception to be a publicly traded, nationwide franchise. A franchise that would have the quality of a 'mom-and-pop' pizza shop but with the consistency of a major franchise. According to Pizza Today Magazine; 'Western PA has more pizza shops per capita than any other area in the U.S.,' which has made it the perfect market for us to showcase our success. Over the last 15 years, we have won many awards, we have been the official pizzas of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Riverhounds, but our biggest success is the intense loyalty of our customers in the Pittsburgh market. With the addition of thirty-one new locations throughout Western Pennsylvania, it is just another of many strong indications to our shareholders how committed we are to becoming one of the top ten pizza franchises in the U.S.''
The Pittsburgh market will allow Unique Pizza and Subs to demonstrate the tremendous benefits of building an experienced and talented management team. This executive team assembled by President and CEO, James Vowler, has produced a powerfully strategic business model that will strengthen market share, acquire new franchisees rapidly, and dominate a competitive market like Pittsburgh. Unique Pizza and Subs thrives on competition because no other national franchise can produce the quality of a ''mom-and-pop'' pizzeria while maintaining the consistency and strength of a major franchise. Unique Pizza and Subs has many advantages over the competition (superior product, a unique and extensive menu, a Customer Response Center) but the main focus of the investment community is UPZS's ability to grow rapidly in any market. Given that Unique Pizza and Subs rapid growth is not limited by demographics or household incomes, it is making the brokerage firms and individual investors take notice. All of these factors are proof of UPZS's commitment towards national expansion and dedication to building value for their shareholders. Other new markets scheduled for opening this summer are: Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Milwaukee, WI; and Norfolk, VA.
I guess I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for this year's dividend check, huh? Ouch! That hurts....lol
Never mind,you were talking to Hot Pizza,lol("getting PEOPLE to invest...")
Latrobe...."I just got off the phone with Tom Palishniek(sp?), our builder from, I forget where, in Latrobe..."
Damn, SY, you making me listen to it again? I did it twice already, trying to figure out where Calbania was. OK, I'll be back....later......
He SOUNDS good, but he rambles on with out a script. He mentioned an opening CITY,and owner, but couldn't quote the location. IF EVERYTHING was SOOO exciting, you'd bet I could rattle off the street address, couldn't you?
I'll admit, his PRs sound very retarded, or maybe just the inferior equipment they are recorded on or both....take your pick.
Don't know about that kind of conversion, but the guy has 'Calbanian relatives all over the country, with whole communities rallying around his grocery stores and gas stations.' (Sheesh, don't these people have movie theaters, zoos or gardens?)lol
The last cc mentioned Wilson Casabbe (sp?)as the BIGGEST shareholder, and soon to be on the board of directors. Just what nationality did JV say is this gentleman? It SOUNDED like Calbanian?? Could someone enlighten me please? Just curious. Wood
Baby steps, hmmm, what a concept! I'll pretend I'm JV...aha! First, since this company is my blood and livelyhood, my first agenda would be to send an e-mail to clientsupport@capitaliq.com, and have them update the address in the company profile at the yahoo finance page, (Since I tell investors to check it out during my cc's.}...(P.S., the Chucker has done this successfully in the past, as he had them correctly change Harley-Davidson's HQ from Chicago, back to Milwaukee, where it had always been,lol)
SY,listen to all of the 12/12/06 cc. BV is lamenting that they couldn't even order a UPZS Pizza for themselves, that Greensburg didn't even have a store. ( They had one lined up, but it was bulldozed)lol...that cc is a classic-keeper!!
GH is no longer consulting. Jim is sticking with GreenTree Finance. GH just wants to promote UPZS to help his OWN businesses look good.IMO
I do recall Jim being asked in a cc, something he had no control over, being forced by regulators to dilute the shares by said merger. He didn't want to do it,as I recall, but had no choice but to be legal.
Maybe Fountain is hosting the cc's in place of the Ellison Payments? They only had to change their name, just go pick one...GTP123, New Dynamic Media Productions, etc...
Thanks for that chart, I bookmarked it. So ever since GH hosted that cc on 12/12/06, the stock NEVER recovered. Oh, there was some talk of a merge with the private and public shares also mentioned by BV, but since JV was in Vegas, BV couldn't elaborate.
In the same cc, BV says how the SEC guys were actually in the Corporate building...investigating...It's a must listen-to cc. IMO Make sure you save it and post it on the I-Box. It would act as a 'milemarker', so to speak. I don't know they don't have it in the archives on the UPZS web site, with all the other cc's.
I saw that too, so he's not selling his OWN stock, but maybe buying it through regular means through a REAL broker, than tacking on a $30 fee per transaction? Much like a kid selling kool-aid on the street, I suppose.
I found that old cc as I was cleaning up my e-mail. I listened to it for the first time today. So if you listen to it, you can say it is one year old, with a LOT of promises. (Like Garland proclaiming 1(one) new store opening per week (for a total of 50) in Austin, Texas. And Bill Vowler saying.."so we can eventually be listed on the OTCBB and then the AMEX,...American Express..." LOL
SY, If you are referring to GH, he announced on 12/12/06, in a cc, that Fountain was no longer able to sell any further shares. (They ran out) HOWEVER...He did say he was intending to buy, on the open market, $500 thousand to a million dollars worth of stock before years end.(2006). So if he is selling, it is his own, and making good money with the $30 dollar per stock certificate/handling fee. IMHO...http://geharrisconsulting.com/conf_calls/unique_pizza_confcall_12-12.html
I let my doctor look at this chart (link below), and he told me not to worry, eat more fruits and vegetables and get more rest! lol......http://www.smallcapwatch.com/company.asp?TICKER=upzs
I found one tiny little add....(posted yesterday, the 4th) Doesn't mention when, or if already, opened, however.
http://www.livinglakecountry.com/story/index.aspx?id=692436
OK, Last POST for tonight...When I posted today concerning Garland's porno past, it may be WAY past. It was in 1997..BEFORE 18 U.S.C. 2257....whereby all owners of porn sites must have on file , the date of birth of all actors therein. That could explain alot. So I appoligise for my insinuation that GH still has PORN for his income! My bad.lol
Let GOD say who should become rich,...Jim and Bill...,not these guys who are holding you and me hostage. If the Ellisons want to make a pitch, let it be through hard work in opening stores in Austin. I'm TOTALLY sick of their CRAP in some of the cc's. The MARTHA STEWART via K-MART,via cross-marketing, get rich scheme, is WAY too obvious.IMO
C'mon, Beemer...Just cause I managed to find a photo of Garland with a hat that says #98 on it...doesn't mean something is true. I demand more info, not TROPTIONS or any other crap. I PAID for and own stock already. If Jim and Bill don't cut ties from this self-rationalizing GH, it will hurt the company. (Get rid of GH, you already have the stock symbol on your damn boxes, hint, hint)
I guess Oconomowoc, Wis is set to open before the holidays, but I think Jim and Bill could do a better job on the cc's. They always seem to not have done the preparation before hand. If it was ME, I would do a run-through with my FACTS in hand..listen to it..correct my 'I DON'T HAVE A CLUE-NESS", and THAN go public. IMO
But on the negative side...WHAT THE HECK is going on in AUSTIN? AHEM!!!!!(SORRY SAFIA, I DON'T mean YOU!!(or did I? lol) At least we can surmise where the money could be cumming, ahem,I meant comming from, to pay the franchise fee for the Austin market.. GEE WHIZ!!
Well I guess things are looking better,SKUNKS. On the last cc, according to BV, the Henderson,Nevada, store just had the ANSUL system installed. And for those of you who don't know what the ANSUL is...it's a fire suppression system required on the overhead air make-up units. In other words..no one dies from fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
I didn't want to be a jerk or anything...but I felt it wise to share my findings concerning the "God wants me to be rich" Garland Harris. Sorry if I offended any good folks out there.
Is it all right for a Christian to peddle pornography? If you are Garland Harris, your answer is yes. Harris’s Web site holds the exclusive listing for 175 "adult" sites worth some $110 million.
Harris received a biblical research degree from The Way College of Emporia, Kansas, which is affiliated with The Way, International, an organization founded in 1967 by Victor Paul Wierwille. The Way describes itself as a teaching organization and doesn’t consider itself a denomination or religious sect. Mainstream Christian groups criticize The Way for denying the dogma of the Trinity.
Harris began designing Web sites three years ago. When a client defaulted on payment, he found himself the owner of a porn site with a hit count of 600,000 hits a day. "It seemed like a waste to just shut it down, " he said.
Harris says he searched through the Bible to see if what he was doing was wrong. His answer: No.
"I didn’t go into this business primarily to broker adult sites," he explains. "Can a believer be a bartender? Can a believer be a real estate broker that sells night clubs or strip clubs? I’m facilitating a transaction, not condoning the sites."
However, Harris and his wife also currently operate their own adult site, which includes pictures of sexual acts, along with images of men and women, separately, in various stages of undress. But Harris has some standards: He has a staff person maintain the site’s graphics, "so we don’t have to look at them ourselves." And he refuses to list any gay or lesbian sites—although he does permit one for cross-dressers.
We’d like to get a look at that Bible he consulted. Did it have an imprimatur from Larry Flynt?
PONY-tailed, excuse me.
I was trying to piece together the "pigtailed" bandit woman from Austin Texas, who was portrayed on America's Most Wanted. She was found later in mid-California, and later in Washington State. Wasn't her builder for the Austin area stores from that area? I gave up, cause I couldn't make out Safias tattoo in the crotch of her hand in the still FBI photos. IMO
