Most of that is untrue and simple misinformation. First, they are not in any grocery stores. May have been 5 years ago but I doubt that, but they have zero grocery currently. The foreign contracts are vapor. They did this same thing back in 2009 announcing multiple foreign contracts that ended up being non-existent and not a single bottle fulfilled. Expanded product line? Again, same ruse they used in 2009 and never a single bottle of anything produced. There are no additional products. Even then, they can't sell the vodka they have. How are they going to buy and manage additional lines? Costco nationwide? Sorry, that's not happening now and probably never will. There's even some question as to whether they are still being carried by the test stores. No reorder has been confirmed and no expansion announced or confirmed. Just a hope that it could happen.
And here's another little tidbit which only goes to show he level of DD is almost zero and confined to believing everything the company says. Marani Brands is currently operating under a California business license that's was suspended/forfeited. Most likely has been for quite some time and probably based n the tax issue. A simple check the CA Secretary of State records will confirm this. What does this mean for the company?
The business loses its rights, powers, and privileges to conduct business in California.
The business loses the right to use its business name in California. In turn, another business could register with the suspended or forfeited business' name, and the name would then belong to the other business.
The business cannot initiate lawsuits, defend itself against lawsuits, or enforce its legal contracts. But other parties can enforce their terms in these contracts.
If the business enters contracts while suspended or forfeited, it can never enforce those contracts unless it obtains relief of contract voidability.
Suspensions and forfeitures are public information.
The business loses the right to get an extension to file a tax return.
If you check deeper there is also a web of other Marani companies both private and public dating back to 2001 with one of the family memberS or all of them listed as officers. Marani Spirits, Marani, inc., etc. looks like a real shell game going on but I'll dig through that later and get back to you all. Bottom line is there is just so much shady stuff going on and misrepresentation.
