You may be right about some of these investors also being franchisees of those clinics, DD. At least, I seem to recall that you suggested as much? Something about the costs on that app of building materials and supplies suggests to me that that might be the case...

And they definitely mention stock awards. So, they may indeed be invested on multiple levels. More complicated and more interesting than my previous asian adventure.

That would also explain why there are under-construction videos. And some of the women polishing the glass, and a caption I read about come join us to help clean up the place. I was wondering what the motivation was to actually work. I was wondering, they seem to be volunteering? Why? For the social aspect of it? It didn't really register, but being franchise owners would make more sense.

You are probably correct. Owners of the stock and of their individual units. Perhaps collectively in some ways on some units? Interesting... Fascinating, even.... I imagine the wine works the same way. Perhaps that's what the first wine store was about that reminded me of Gucci's merchandising techniques.

And there are at least two wine clubs on top of that. That may not be franchised. Lots of missing puzzle pieces, but a picture is emerging!
