Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

I'll take your word on the license being renewed, for now, but tell us how you would know that given the the CA ABC still lists it as expired? I read that it takes up to 60 days to get the official paperwork but that the query system is updated daily (upon receipt of renewal fees) in order for distributors and resellers to confirm legality for any given purchase. Just curious how you might be privy to information like that? It would indicate that you or perhaps someone you knew spoke to someone at MRIB yesterday or today.

Hey, who knows. Maybe this is the reason for no stock at Costco. Maybe an oversight by Margrit and Costco couldn't reorder until the license was updated. The state puts the burden of responsibility on the reseller, not the vendor for good reason. Anyway, that would be about the best news for MRIB folks in a long, long time. Guess we will see.

Might also explain the tardiness with the financials. We know how much difficulty Margrit has with paperwork. That license renewal was probably quite a challenge for her or maybe she used up her crayon on the form before she got to the financials.
