Also for Amazon Prime, it looks like the cost per Be Water case dropped a little to $29.99 and that includes shipping.

Today was the first time I've seen Be Water offered under Amazon Prime FBA in my location. It's nice to see FBA expanding to more areas.

Thanks HDtexas2003. This has definitely been a wild ride and I believe in this company but more than that I believe in the shareholders like us who support this company. There are many things that the company could have been done better such as increased communication, but there are many accomplishments that have been made.
One has to look at the complete picture. Back in 2018 and 2019, the focus was that a product had not been produced (back when Karen Howard was the CEO). Now we have an actual, tangible product on Amazon that is available for purchase.
The train is a slow one but one that is moving. As noted earlier, I believe everyone has a right to their opinions and any postings removed were not done so by me.
I've always advocated and continue to do so that the best thing we can do is to gather ideas or connections and send them to the company. That way we can have a part of the company's growth which we all want to see.
Have a good one.
-Jazz
Hello to you TrumpNation4life. I believe in Greene Concepts and want it to do well. It's my hope that this stock's PPS rises and that we all benefit from it. If more places can see the benefits of artesian spring water around the country we are golden.
I do believe that everyone has a right to their opinion. I haven't been able to post here as often as in the past but I've always attempted to be fair and respectful to everyone here. I'm not sure how my name has come up recently.
All the best to you and to everyone.

Ken Porter seems very knowledgeable about plant operations. I'm glad to see him at the helm at the bottling plant. Lots of great procedures in play to help the company in the long run.

From what I read it seems like the company wanted to go through with the land deal but there were issues on the seller's side preventing it.

Orlando, Florida Land Purchase Update:

Thanks Optiongetter. I'm just glad that this information was available for me to share.
-Jazz
Thanks Ty. The picture was from the investor/shareholder who visited not the company. The Zoom call video does showcase the inside. Amy McNally mentioned that she would make the video available soon and that one only has to e-mail her to receive the raw copy. She was flying back home either shortly after the call yesterday or this morning. Looking at it on the Zoom call showed a lot of detail and the plant manager definitely knows his stuff. It was nice to hear that the company is preparing for 1 and 2 liter bottles and has the capability of packaging 12, 6 or 4 bottle cases and 24 - 32 pack cases too (I can't remember if 36 bottles was an available package or not, I'd have to watch the video again).
As soon as I get a copy I'm definitely sharing it here. The lack of wifi for the plant since it was so remote negated the ability for Amy to do a live Zoom in the plant but for the limitations of technology while on travel, I'm glad that she was able to take an earlier video of the plant either that morning or the day before and sharing it live on the Zoom call yesterday. It was also good seeing 5 or 6 other people busy at work packing the water for orders going out.
The production line itself wasn't on during the video. My thought is it reduced the safety hazards and ensured we could hear the plant manager, Ken, while he was speaking.
You are correct in that the cleanliness of the plant along with the efficiency stood out. Many have commented on how the plant looks on the outside however on the inside for it to be clean, orderly and for the plant manager to say that even though the empty bottles come in sterilized, he cleans each of them a second time anyway, was very comforting to hear.
I drove by the outside of the plant in October, 2019 while visiting the Biltmore Estates in Asheville with family (it was on a Saturday so no one was at the plant that day). More to come as it becomes available.

New Greene Concepts Bottling Plant Sign + Feedback
The below writing is also from a fellow investor in the Telegram group who toured the Marion, NC bottling plant yesterday and who also provided a picture of the new Greene Concepts sign below too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to share my impressions of the visit to the Bottling Plant Wednesday. This was my second trip to Marion, NC. The first time I was there in February when they were just launching production, I did not have the opportunity to see the inside of the building or meet any people because of the time of the day and day of the week I was there. At the time of the first visit the North Cove Bottling Plant sign was still in place.
Yesterday, prior to arrival I was sent and had signed a Release of Liability form so I could enter the facility. I also was asked to sign some general OSHA and site specific guidelines upon entering the plant. My first observation of the inside of the facility was that it is immaculately spotless almost sterile like an operating room. Very, very clean. All visitors and workers are required to wear hair nets and coverings over facial hair. (Covid face coverings also in place at this time). My first time meeting Amy McNally she was sporting a Hair Net, but I digress, I'll get to that in a moment.
Ken Porter, the Plant manager knows his stuff and he is a no nonsense get it done and get it done right the first time kind of guy. Extremely professional demeanor. From my viewpoint, Mr. Porter is running the show like it is a precision military operation. Policies and Procedures in place to be followed without exception. From my standpoint as an investor I was impressed with the inner workings The facility is huge and ample room for growth. I also enjoyed Ken Porter's pristine Harley Davidson which was also immaculate, but I'm veering off course here. Mr. Porter is also a very nice guy to boot when he took off his all business hat for a moment.
I met several of the line and packaging workers yesterday. I saw about a half dozen or so busy at various tasks. I was particularly impressed with a young man who introduced himself to me as "Pancho", (anyone under 55 is young to me). Pancho described his distribution background in detail to me and this is a guy with God given natural sales ability and this is an area I know a little something about with more than 30 years sales experience and training. They are building a strong team at the Bottling Plant and I appreciate those who took the time to talk with me.
I met Amy McNally for the first time yesterday. having had exposure to Amy a little bit on this message board I had formed some expectations on her character and personality. I was not disappointed. Amy has a big personality. She is charismatic, kind, smart and what I discovered yesterday, very resourceful. I have seen over the course of the last few months, Amy does what she says she is going to do. Having said that, I had the opportunity to watch Amy do her Clint Eastwood impression and Improvise, Adapt and Overcome! The Bottling Plant is in the middle of a forest, in the middle of the mountains, in the middle of nowhere! It is there, because that is where the water is. Cellular reception is sparse even on the best of days, but yesterday there were also high wind gusts in the mountains of NC. Amy, not wanting to take the chance of missing the 1:00 pm deadline for the promised Live Zoom meeting made the decision to record the video early and then rush off to a destination w!
There there was adequate cell coverage to post it. Amy once again did what she said she was going to do. Unfortunately, she was unable to do the meeting live as originally planned, but she did what she felt she needed to do.
Thank you Amy McNally for allowing me to visit and tour the plant. I am more confident than ever in the future of this company and my investment. I hope you had a safe, comfortable flight back to San Diego and I look forward to meeting you again one day, perhaps at the Celebration of Success Convention within the next few years or sooner. Keep up the great work.
I located the following after my review of four cases of Be Water showed up today on Amazon: https://www.google.com/amp/s/sellerengine.com/amazon-verified-product-reviews/amp/

Great post.
-Jazz
You are most welcome. Hopefully after the 3-month application filing review, if not sooner, this will show up as a current filing on USPTO's main page.
-Jazz
Thanks for the kind words Ty! Much appreciated. Agreed that getting in large retail stores will make a huge difference and is needed.
-Jazz
Hey Ty,
Yes the previous filing expired which is why the new application is being filed from what I see. For the 2019 application when they were just getting getting started they used Mammoth as the subsidiary and it looks like now Greene Concepts is applying using the parent company.
The plant may be in Marion, NC but the corporate entity is still in California which is why I believe they included that in the updated application.
I just noticed that the link you noted expired does not work without going through the main page for some reason. It looks like the 2019 link requires one to go back through the main USPTO page and put "Be Water" in the search box to view the 2019 filing:
https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=login&p_lang=english&p_d=trmk
The below then shows. I hope this helps.

I can vouch for Tyhub as he has been on this board for the same amount of time I have (about 10 years) and has seen the ups and downs of the previous iteration of INKW back when it was LKEN and the InkWay USA program was in full effect. We've both seen things that we wish could have been done differently. It is on the company to prove themselves at this point. Getting product to customers is a great first start but more is needed to get this to where it needs to be.
Tyhub calls a spade a spade and if there are good things happening he'll mention those but if there are improvements that need to be made, he'll mention those too. As noted earlier, constructive criticism can be helpful and Tyhub offers that.
It is my hope that one day when the stock is above $1.00, all of us can sit back and smile. :)
-Jazz
Hi Makemone1. The point I was making is that positive or negative, all feedback can be helpful in getting the stock back up and that according to TOS everyone has a right to post. As long as people are respectful of each other that is what is most important.
As far as removals, I cannot speak on that as I was not involved. Unless one is purposefully and directly disrespectful and making a personal attack I do not believe in post removals even if the topic/wording is not something I want to see as a supportive shareholder of INKW myself.
Once the share price increases the supporters will increase. Meanwhile while it may not seem right we have to allow everyone a voice.
-Jazz
Thanks Ty. I look at it like this. We all want the same thing and that's company success, increase in PPS and the ability to send information to the company if we feel something could be improved while knowing that the company may or may not enact our idea.
If everyone respects each other's views and uses that energy in a way that can be beneficial to everyone then we all win.
-Jazz
I posted the below just now on StockTwits but I believe it pertains to our INKW iHub page as well. I've posted similar messages here where if we work together some mighty things can occur. There are over 14,000 INKW followers on the StockTwits page.

------------------------------------------------------
I know everyone has differing opinions on what will happen with the success of this company. Some are strong supporters and some have doubts. Each of us have various opinions and ideas. For all sure to forward any ideas you have to the company at IR@greeneconcepts.com as that helps everyone. Those who have been critical of the company should still be respected by those who support the company. 1. We are all here to make money. 2. Each person has a right to say what's on their mind. 3. Even people who do not support Greene Concepts often have nuggets of improvement that when enacted could ultimately help the company. Hopefully together we all can do our part to get ideas to the company and if possible (depending on our current roles and who we know), we could send leads to the company to help them get into more markets and onto more shelves. More than likely, the company will pay a commission to us if we do so.
If we have 14,000 pairs of eyes offering ideas to IR@greeeneconcepts.com and looking out for leads to help us get into more retail stores, more online stores, more organizations and more businesses, then we can be of more value than just posting here on StockTwits. We can be a direct help in moving forward our investment (together 14,000 strong) in helping the country learn more about Be Water which ultimately will grow the company and ultimately PPS.
