Some here are saying that it doesn't take weeks to design/print a circular. With today's technology this is true.... but, it does take weeks to PLAN the circular. It also takes time to SHIP the circulars to the respective newspapers. There HAS to be deadlines for each of the vendors to approve the ads. Even if a "definitive agreement" was signed over a week ago there would not be time to include GnF in the ad.

Others are saying there may be no reason to issue a PR since CC is basically an affiliate. This may also be true but they also need to remember this is BUSINESS... CC and Gnf are NOT going to continue in a relationship without a CONTRACT after the 15th and any contract must be filed with the SEC within 4 (business) days of the signing. If a new contract was signed at 11:59 p.m. on the 15th we will know by the 22nd by checking SEC filings. Those filings are public record. No PR does not mean no contract.

The CC website... I tend to agree with Sirius, CC updates their website once a week and GnF is still there. I can't imagine CC making major changes to their site on a daily basis to accommodate each and every one of their vendors/partners. But, (please don't shoot me, just playing devil's advocate), placement of an ad in the circular or even on the CC website does NOT indicate one way or another a national roll-out. IMO, an ad, be it on the website or in the circular, is just indicative of an affiliation. GnF can be on the site/in the circular with NO in-store promotion.

BUT.... What about the verified NEW stores in Florida that received GnF product this Friday. Do people really think that CC would go through the costs associated with placement/training in new stores for just a few days? I could be wrong, but placement in the new stores tells more of the story than anything else....

This is just all IMO, of course.
