Data is data...You can't pick and choose what news/articles you want to consider "old and stale"....Does this mean anything Winning Brands has done 5 years ago is old and stale/irrelevant? But back to the original topic of discussion, Dennis's point was simple and clear...ALOT of people in that city can't afford the product...it's that simple...and it is true...don't shoot the guy in the foot for it...You all down the guy for stating misinformation...but when he states real facts...you still find reason to down him....Question is, why? Is it because you don't want to consider the fact that WNBD can still fail?...Can still make mistakes....can still attempt to expand in countries/areas it has no business attempting to, in such an early stage?.
YES, it can...and it has before...what's going on in Europe? how about China? Bahamas? How long have each had 1 store on the locator page? Does it not make you think maybe they were added just for the company to state..."Oh, yea....we are expanding in China...Europe...etc..." Not saying thats what they are doing...but simply saying, if a topic like this is brought up, the poster who states it should not be crucified for it...It's a topic which brings a great debate...
BTW...Why do you keep comparing Big Retailers to Winning Brands? The same way WNBD has failed to come through/came through but failed on over 2 dozen initiatives is the same way a Big retailer could fail as well...Only difference is, the Big Retailer in discussion (Wal-Mart) can write it off like nothing ever happened...WNBD cannot afford to make many mistakes...and if they do...you know where that leads...Walmart could spend billions in South Africa attempting to "jump-start" business over there...does this mean everything Walmart does, WNBD should follow suit? NO...Please stop the comparisons, as they do not show anything but unrealistic verbiage, mixed with quotes, percentages, and revenues WNBD is not even within line-of-sight of as of yet...
