Good post Ordinary Guy. I think all of your points below are very valid indeed... And I wish you a ton of luck in your stores. I have a slew of family in Charlotte and elsewhere in NC, and I'll sure be referring them to your store, as I have to Ken's already, with great feedback.

All of this being said, and respected, the company needs to quit acting so overly optimistic on store openings if this is the case! It is not we investors that made the promises, but there are a lot of people (including a slew of people close to the UPZS family) that invested based on their premises.

You'd think the folks in HQ would have known all these hassles before promising stores in July that still aren't on board (MKE, Austin), etc... A new business has to plan everything around getting ramped up slower than projected.

You provided very useful insight, and it is very appreciated. And you have all of our support in getting your stores up and running.

Good luck... All IMO
