Back in the land of cold and a reliable pc.

Sadly NO. Some interest was generated two years ago with past investors trying to coordinate and effort with even approaching the original bottler. Didn't pan out. I had a go to guy who said to come up with $ 5 mil. and he'd make the connections but not to expect even the same potential.

The timing and team ( sans a few ) were perfect then but couldn't be repeated now. The clean " movers " in the background THEN are now gone.

Was informed that Vegas had a possible end-buyer before the final demise but the big established company looking at them backed out when they looked under the rug. It would have been purchased for a fraction of its earlier potential.

I'm sure your efforts were impressive. Wouldn't expect anything less. Lot'sa efforts made back then that could have collectively taken this project to desired heights and beyond.

Little info. I've been sitting on for a long time now. Wasn't privy to it at the time but had strong suspicions that were later confirmed to be true by many. It was I/I then and only known to a select few but many of the signs were there as things progressed. Kind'a smelled something but couldn't nail it down at the time. " A story stock, one to tell your grand-children about " very close my friend. Know why ? 'cus the plan was to merge Arcadia and it's established lines into RBI. Yep! one big mo'fo operation with some nice connections. That was the reason for the $ 2 mil expansion and the big-ass sign. ARCADIA FARMS - HOME OF RUDY BEVERAGE. Nice 'eh. Just get rid of the aholes Vegas. Just leave them behind and let the industry guys run the show. Do a few public pitches now and then PERIOD and you've got a third. NOPE !!!!

" We shifted our bottling operations from the former " MILK BOTTLER PLANT " to a modern facility more centrally located in Chicago ". Almost choked on my Cheerios when I read that one.
Turns out Chicago got burned too. The Overland boys gave me that one. (good guys).

Few people might be pissed I mentioned the above but fck'm. I owe nobody anything along those lines.

I hit the right 6 numbers and I'll give the beverage a run if I can get the right people in place. Timing is way off but what the hell. You'll be one of the first to know.
