mikeer...

there are several "in the works" at various stages from lease discussions to permit applications...according to the conference calls I recollect SD, 2nd VA store and Austin as 2 areas...then we have Fidler LLC's with one in Ca/and Unique Pizza one as well which Jim said those would come into corporate...

Jim's energetic and his plans to this point have been while not 'on target' at least rolling forward. I couldn't agree with you more that the family and friends have been his backers up to this point. He's repeated that over and over since he took this company public and that they were there for the long run. What I will conclude from some of the folks setting up these franchises doesn't appear they are living on a shoestring....appears they are mostly business savvy folks.

I'm patient. I'm surrounded in my real life with permit delays that go into months and months...

My vision for 2007 is Fidler producing in Las Vegas, CA and Hawaii, Va is committed to 2nd location looks like, looks like Austin has 2 locations being looked at/and or signed, Boston has locations being looked at and let's not forget they did a mass mailing to Boston and I believe PA area to pizza places for conversion opportunities...let's see if anything results from that.

We do have 3 new areas outside of the Pittsburgh originals...Carolina/Boston/Virgina...that is progress...
