Yes, and I monitor that store and many more for my own personal local research. My next visit will be in two weeks when I do a 4 to 5 store sweep to see the progress. What's crazy is that I am building a business relationship with the store owners. They are more than willing to give me info on the development of sales. (You never know, these same guys may choose to invest in the company as well. New faces=new investors=eventually new high's for PPS) :)

I will email Eric in the morning regarding this inquisition. If anything comes of this....you will all know more in due time...

(if not....well...it was a great idea...) :)

Lol. Honestly, I have personally seen for myself the number of people that attempt to leach on to these guys for personal gain. (I went on Kanye's Tour bus once and saw tons of demo CD's from various wannabe superstars) If Eric was serious and gave me the go ahead I would attempt this proposition. But once again, i'm a little hesitant due to some lack of understanding on certain issues. (something Eric could walk me through if he wanted to take this route)

(Money could be an issue, but maybe not as well. I am a cousin of his cousin. So I would think he would do this out of the opportunity as well as the kindness from his heart. and yes, he is nice most of the time, no matter what the media makes it look like)

I have direct contact to Kanye West :). (no BS) I was actually thinking of approaching him about WC. My pitch would include using what happened to him and Taylor Swift at the VMA's 09. Kanye's reputation get's "Stained" almost every year when he does something extremely outlandish. Kanye could make a ad or commercial saying something like "Everything from carpets-to-cloth-to-peoples reputations get stained everyday. WC can provide solutions to most of these." (With him giving a smerk, or grin; sublimely addressing his past misfortunes.)

Just a thought. Haven't approached him about this for 2 reasons.

1. Not sure if Eric would even want such a character representing his "Clean" imaged product.

2. Don't want to approach him about a company that I don't know all details about. And I'm not familar with the legal side to all of this. I don't want to ask him about this and he say no. Makes me feel like I'm using him personally, as well as his success and fame. (Which I would do gladly, I want to be "rich" to you know) :)

FFF,

Congrats my fellow comrade. You had me fooled. But post after post you continue to show your poker face. You prove that you lack the intellect to understand anything about this company and our CEO. Mr. Lehner could of summed up his memo in one word if he desired. He usually writes 4 to 5 paragraph memos to give us inclusive detail, to leave no room for further inquisitions on that particular discussion. Now we all know the reason that Mitre 10 was not PR'd...do you have any further questions for the reason why?....yeah...I thought so...NO...(Thanks Eric)

Furthermore, Scup warns personnel traveling out of their way to call, not because he does not trust the store locators accuracy, but because some of these locations have not had the proper training or knowingness of their current inventory. So please save the BS for yahoo's message board...

I'm sure the big boi's will want extensive contracts so Eric could not do just that.

great analogy scup... Soon we'll all be in that pool, swimming around like Nemo... :)

Hey Tiburon, I want to get on the world map of shareholders. Can you help?

COPO, Maybe you should try emailing him. But that brings a few questions to mind that I may need to email him about as well. If I know someone that works at a local Shermin Williams, can I ask them to start selling WC(locally). Just like Eric did over there with Mitro 10, is it possible for local stores to order supplies? And if so, what is the first step they would have to take? Has anybody tried this?

Thank you Rocket, Great info.

Thanks for the responses Scup and Rocket. I for one did look at the Canandian Map prematurely before actually thinking about the population. So I see what you talking about. Thanks again.

Just some questions, all responses/opinions requested.

Yes, we all know WNBD is 2 secs from blasting off. We all know we are penetrating various countries. We all also know that Winning Brands products are the real deal. My question is, Why do the countries with Major retailers not realize this? And if they do, why is this stock still this low? You would think that if Canadian investors saw this product in Home Depot, Zellers, WalMart, and local gas stations, the PPS would not be so low. Does it really take American Investors to move this stock?

There are investors World-Wide. This is a Canadian Company, Why does it take major U.S. retailers to get the PPS moving past pennies? I would think that Canadians and australians would be buying this up, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Like someone said in a previous post, it does seem at times like ihub members are the only ones buying the stock. IMO

No idea. I've had a trade in since market open and it won't fill. I guess I'll raise my bid a few milla cents above the ask.

I have a order in so I know people are placing trades. What's the hold up? Is this halted?

Actually no. Please enlighten me.

Well if you want this info, your going to have to just wait. Eric storing this info in the vault has it's reasons. Reasons that you and I may not fully understand. But from my past DD, i'm sure it's in the best interest of the shareholders in the "LONG" run. Not short term rubbish. If you want numbers, how about going to stores near you (if WB products are near you) and watching the traffic of bottles sold, like I do. It takes work but I know for a fact, in my area, bottles are moving.

Ps: If I remember correctly, Someone stated that Eric said we are suppose to see sales info by years end. Can someone verify this or is this a rumor? Thanks.

Yea, your right. Some of the stores I call actually sound like they want to remember the name when I ask. I'll ask "Do you sell WC"? They'll respond....."UMMMM I don't think so...(brief pause)...No we don't sell that here."

I think their safest ans easiest answer is NO. They will know the name soon enough.

I went out scouring again today. Just got back from a Marathon Store in Cleveland. Once again I called before I went there. They confirmed they carried WC. When I got there, immediately I went to the front counter and asked again, "Do you guys sell Winning Colours"? The guy told me No. I was bewildered and confused because about a hour earlier I was told they did. So before I turned around and left, I made sure I took a deeper look at what was behind and "under" the counter. (Just to see if this guy knew what he was talking about). To my Surprise, I spotted WC underneath the counter behind the glass. Let me tell you, NO ONE, and I do mean NO ONE would of been able to see this. They had the 12 pack display case located in a spot where a new potential customer would of never been able to see. I was quite sad to be honest. All 12 bottles were just sitting there begging for new homes. I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything about it so I just left.

Moral of this story is. Like Eric said in this memo: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=41907359

There will be inspectors going around these stores to inspect these guys. Hopefully the Inspector/Rep will instruct these store owners to put the display case in a "Visable" area like they were probably encouraged to do.

Just to add, I called like 4 more stores today and they all don't know they have WC in their back room. Hopefully the Rep will correct this to.

That's cool with me bro. They'll probably join once our group/fan numbers grow. Right now numbers are small and will remain small until the people you are referring to stop being hermits. These groups are not just for "us". They are to potentially gain new customers/investors. How would someone buy Winning Brand Products without actually knowing about it? I came across WNBD due to losing my ass on another stock. Hopefully we can save someone else that heartache and get them to know about WNBD before the same happens to them. Or save them from missing a huge opportunity. Thanks.

P.S.

In my group, I will not be advertising the investment side of this. I'll leave that up to the persons that join. No need to beg people to join, i'll just do with what I have.

Nice pic..lmao

Everyone, here's my calling for the military to get involved. Join this Facebook group to help me with gaining military awareness of WC.

I know some of you have military friends. Please join this group and send an invite to all of them and more. Thanks.

I agree totally. You guys are great leaders and spokesmen. I'm sure Eric can make room for you and Scup. Jobs are hard to come by these days. When Winning Brands takes off, he'll probably have a job for all of us! :)

IMO Rocket can repost any of his posts as much as he feels fit. The only reason that he does this is to give new WNBD investors a preliminary basis on their journey to their own DD. If you can't respect that, maybe you can find some of your own old posts worthy enough to be reposted...

No, I can't say they do. Although, through word of mouth, they know what it is. This is why I was so adament about getting WC in local stores. Now I have some ground to stand on if someone asks me where to buy it from. People (including my friends) are very lazy and all they want is easy access to everything. I have plenty of stains in my office at my Base. I will bring extra bottles to hand out while i demonstrate how to use it. (once I go back to work). I'm on leave right now for a week!

Hey TJW, Earlier this month I wrote this post.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=41135361

The store your referring to is the exact one was talking about. I probably talked to the same guy as well. Very nice guy. With all these personnel calling about this, he may try a little harder to find a supplier. :)

lmao!! I have to say, this location was much much better. lol. Great customer service as well. Very happy.

FYI, due to my complete and utter fascination with this company, I drove back to Cleveland/Northfield area about 2 hours ago. I called ahead of time just to make sure WC was there. When I arrived, I looked around and couldn't find it on the shelves. As I walked up to the counter to ask the clerk where it was, I noticed it was right there, displayed oh so perfectly next to the lottery tickets. The display case can hold twelve 4 oz bottles and six were already gone. I asked the lady when did this product start selling here, and she said earlier this week. So six bottles sold in roughly six days....at a local gas station....not bad...oh...and I didn't mind grabbing 2 bottles for myself...so make that 8 bottles sold in a week...

P.S.

I asked the lady to take pictures...she politely told me no. I'll be going to this gas station and many more to base my personal analysis on local sales...

Lmao, thats what I was thinking as I drove off...lol...I don't know, really wanted to get out of there...the store I went in wasn't in the best of neighborhoods either...just in case people are wondering...i'm black, so i'm not hating against these parts of town...hey...I get uncomfortable around my own kind too...lol :)

Butch tell me the store you went to...please!!!

Ok, I Know of two stores that I actually went in that said they did not carry the product. I'll send those names to Eric. Thanks Trusting...

Very disappointed right now. I just got back from 2 stores in Cleveland listed on the store locator page. I went into one store and looked around for WC with no avail. I then asked the man in charge if they sold Winning Colours, and he said NO, with a attitude. Upset at his tone, I left and went to the next store. As I was driving up, I noticed the area this store was located, and the people that were surrounding the store. It looked like something from Menace II Society. For me and my pregnant wife's safety, I decided not to go in. Sorry everyone, no pictures today. Can someone tell me what does it mean when stores are put on the locator page? Does it mean they are already in the store or are they worked on being put there?

P.S.
Message to all...Please don't PM me to question my honesty. If I say i'm going to do something, oh...it's gonna get done. (You know who you are)

Everyone, I will be back in about 3 hours with pictures!!!

Your darn right, this is great. As soon as I see the stor locator updated. I will be driving straight to Cleveland. 1 hour drive ain't bad.

Well, Hopefully this takes off before May 2011. I'll be investing here until then and beyond. (My EAOS)

maybe you can get me a job when I get out... :) ....please?...lol... but serious...

lol...I guess you got what you wanted. :)

P.S.

I'm actually happy that Eric is releasing news at various times now. Helps keep traders on there toes.

"They do have some support for the military."

Are you in the Military? Just asking. Military sites order products on a daily basis from GSA. If you've ever seen the transactions from one order, from one sole unit/department/base, you would realize "some support" is not the terminology you would be looking for. I don't have the exact numbers, but from personal experience, these numbers range in the millions per quarter for some, and hundred thousands for others.

IMO, This does not need anything. No Pr, no Memo, no nothing. Eric has said a thousand times that he will not help raise the share price using "hype". He is strategically putting out PR's that will gain new customers and to gain World-Wide recognition. Yes, looking at the low share price is a little annoying, but if you are as confident in the future success of this company as most here are, you would be happy the prices are still this low. Everyone who wants PR's just for the hell of it need to think twice of why they want them. Do you want them in hope of a share price increase? IMO, any regular PR at this point will have minimal effect on the PPS. Do you want PR's just to read? This is why Eric gives us Memo's on a regular basis, so he does not have to give us "fluff PR's". IMO, Eric please don't give us PR's just because people ask. Give them to us when you feel the time is right, like I believe you already do. Thanks.

Yes, The PR's back in Feb. are talking about Winning Brands Products potentially being put in the various military exchanges(aka Commissary's) GSA is One of a kind...It comprises of an assortment of Vendors that are put into catalogs that "we" the consumers buy from. On Navy Ships, this is where we order all supplies. And I do mean all. If we were to be put into these catologs, 100 million annually would not be to long down the road. Every ship that I've been on have a quota of how much money they can spend. And they look very bad when they do not spend all the funds they were given. So this means they order stuff in excess and just for the hell of it. I would purposely order hundreds of dollars of Winning Brand products to give to all my departments. If Eric gets this done, I'll take one for the team and be the spokesman for the Navy. ( At least my Base :0) )
