Take the 2 links below for an example. The new Hacketts website is already very well laid out, so placing an "Add to Cart" link will be pretty simple in my opinion. I look forward to this business milestone alot. The all-around business should increase drastically.

redsoxnumba1........Customer Loyalty, After 180+ Years in business you tend to have alot of this. Many people and/or Familys make shopping at Hacketts a tradition. Just like the logo says "A North Country Tradition". Now that I have seen this new website, I am sure this is going to be a great success.

american psycho........Exactly, We are basically lined up to be half-way done with Phase 1. 12 Hacketts stores at the very least should be up and running before years end. I think we will see more than that, just my opinion. Think about this, we are just talking about Hacketts, Jreck Sub Shops and the Good Fellos Restaurant Platform will be looking to add more Locations now and over the next several years. Very Exciting times ahead for us, plus I agree the PPS/Chart is starting to look nice agian, 5 green bars in a row on the chart. 10q and more news on the way in my opinion. Stock is and has been way undervalued and way oversold imho.

Hacketts: Currently has 9 big-box retail stores and is looking to expand into 20-25 locations total in phase 1.

Jreck Subs: Currently has 5 locations and is looking to expand 3 locations this year and 10-12 total over 2008-2009.

For online retail selling, "e-tailing" "Hackett’s eventually intends to roll out select e-commerce opportunities through the website."

Words do not describe how nice and professional this website is. This really puts a stamp on the "Hacketts" legendary brand. E-commerce and/or E-shopping coming sooner than later!

E-commerce (electronic commerce or EC) is the buying and selling of goods and services on the Internet, especially the World Wide Web. In practice, this term and a newer term, e-business, are often used interchangably. For online retail selling, the term e-tailing is sometimes used.

american psycho........Thats Nice, Looks good for this week.

The last time we had 3 straight green days was 3 1/2 months ago and/or Feb 1st est. We are Up approx. 15+% right now over the last 3 trading days. A strong close could be a strong signal for us in my opinion.

vivalasvegas.......I think that may be the wrong word. I tend to look at the "Warrent" theory when I think of a possible run. I guess it would only make sense right. That being said we still wait and see how this all plays out. Just my opinion.

american psycho........This I find very interesting, I must have overlooked this, although time has passed since this happened, maybe this is part of the plan.

"Tom also mentioned he still has a sizable position in GS Agrifuels which he intends to liquidate and roll into this company."

Pretty good "update and outline" for the shareholders in my opinion. At least I am very pleased with this new information.

Hacketts: Currently has 9 big-box retail stores and is looking to expand into 20-25 locations total in phase 1.

gabsch........Good information, thank you for sharing.

Jreck Subs brand into new markets, he said. Mr. Swartz said the company would create "three to six" new sub locations this year and 10 to 12 total through 2009.

"We're actually going to get much more aggressive," Mr. Swartz said. "We think the timing is right for what we're doing."

numbness........Good point and perspective.

vivalasvegas........I do agree, in Toms hands now.

vivalasvegas........I am willing to give Tom my patience, That being said I am unwilling to let him off the hook if infact there is something else going on not to my knowledge and due diligence. I quit trading 2 years ago due to CEO scam artists and an overall market where nobody seemed they had to play by the rules anymore, including brokers who then thought they did not have to deliver stock, dividends, buyout shares ect. All this being said we obviously want answers to these very specific questions, my first being the gscr shell, sure the legacy dilution is over now, but what do we get in return if anything for participating in the so called cleanup, although I cant complain about being part of Hacketts, NCH, ect. Anyway, just figured I would chime in, I will give Tom time to do the right thing, simple as that. I have alot of money invested here, I expect nothing but honesty from Tom and management going forward. Later.

cdnkid10........Exactly, certainly makes sense to me.

“We have initially targeted "seven" specific markets where we are looking to add locations where we believe Goodfello’s would have the highest probability of success, and the assistance of Fransaction will allow us to develop a more complete franchise concept "rapidly" and professionally. We look forward to working with Fransaction and being more prepared to deploy new locations in the near future.”

Safe Harbor Statement

diggr........Ok thank you, I dont make much of it personally. The bottom line is the PPS ran on pure speculation last year and in-return there are a large amount of investors who are in or averaged at a much higher pps, so this mentality is to be expected in my opinion. I read a post where tadaaa said that his timing was off, I agree because mine was way off also. As I have already said, I expanded my holding position by 5x at .008. At that time I was following the market cap for a real bottom, there does come a time when a stock becomes so undervalued it signals a bottom regardless of what the chart says. Anyway, at that time the market cap was 8 million dollars and now we have a market cap of 3-4 million dollars. This has brought me to only one conclusion which I have seen discussed alot over the last few days, the pps is being manipulated ect. So we now wait to see what the real story is here in my opinion, there are several things that dont seem to be adding up. The news that continues to be put out is in no way fluff, it just needs a face put on it with the filings and real numbers. As far as the pps right now, I dont see it going much lower, or who knows maybe we see more green today. I have yet to find anyone who has been able to pinpoint a reversal, this stock due to manipulation in my opinion has tricked the very best. Overall I feel really good about my investment, and over time once agian I plan on doubling my position here, this will be dependent on available funds. Take Care.

maverick one........Can I get a repost? Thanks.

Nice to see some green today, that never hurts, we have to start somewhere right. Anyway, been away from the computer for a few days, nice press release I see we got today, I look forward to all that. Also there was some nice posts the last few days I have been catching up on. Guess we see what tomorrow brings, everything seems to be doing just fine besides the pps, although I would say it has held its own for sure. Just my opinion of course. Hope for more green tomorrow.
