Some of what you said came straight from my brain! I thought about the national exposure to GIGL's "chicken wrap" & agree it will do nothing for revenue or the share price unless people from all over the country start flying to CA to visit the 2 GIGL locations instead of Disney, Hollywood, etc.
HOWEVER, I refuse to believe they went thru this effort, expense?, call in a favor, whatever, to tell the country about chicken wraps! It does not make sense.
The timing for this event fits perfectly with what Parsi said about Bahrain LOI. On 5/31 he said "we expect to close in a few weeks". OK, so 6/28 is exactly 4 weeks but close enough. An announcement a day or so before 6/28, or something from Jillian during the event would be perfect.
Also, during the recent Fox thing Jillian did, she said "...we will be opening 5 locations...". She. Didn't say "we plan to, we expect to, we hope to". She said "we will".
Now add what Parsi said today, "As we move forward with our expansion plans outside of the Southern California market, and the launching of our various product lines..."
Maybe we don't hear anything until just before 6/28 or until 6/28? Extra! would be perfect to announce or reinforce an announcement. If we don't get something hard & real by 6/28 that implies new revenue, I'll be shocked (and quite annoyed!)
