HERES SOMETHING INTERESTING I JUST DISCOVERED ABOUT HOMECLICK!

While doing some research this week trying to find any sort of "NEW" connection between Homeclick and GFME, I came across a company that has an interesting address!

http://nationaldiabeticshoes.com/

It looks to be a fairly new website selling a line of Diabetic Shoes. After checking out that website, you might notice that company is using a familiar address:

777 New Durham Rd, Suite D
Edison, NJ 08817


Now, I KNEW I had seen that address before! And oh my, it seems another company near and dear to our hearts ALSO has that address listed on their contact page...

http://www.homeclick.com/web/customerservice/contact.aspx

WHY is this interesting do you ask? Well, we dont know for sure yet. However, something I DO find interesting is that in 2007, Big George and George Foreman Enterprises joined together with a company called InStride shoes to produce a line of special Diabetic shoes for the active lifestyle (PR is below)

HOUSTON, April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- George Foreman Enterprises, Inc. (PinkSheets:GFME) and Instride Ventures, LLC announced the launch of a diabetic shoe program called Instride by George Foreman -"Fight the Good Fight" which markets specialty shoes and custom molded inserts to diabetics. The specialty shoes are covered under the Diabetic Therapeutic Shoe Program, which is a government program instituted with preventative treatment for diabetics in mind. Under this government program, the specialty shoes will be available at NO COST to Medicare patients with a secondary insurance. The Instride by George Foreman - "Fight the Good Fight" program is being marketed and sold in select Shopko stores.

George Foreman said, "I am very excited about the introduction of the Instride by George Foreman -"Fight the Good Fight" specialty shoe program. We have an opportunity to build awareness in the public that there is a brand of shoes made especially for diabetics that help them avoid complications due to diabetes."

"We are pleased to be part of the Instride by George Foreman -"Fight the Good Fight" program, which will market and sell diabetic shoes in our stores. We will offer a complete information and sales program", said Carmen Fusselman, ShopKo Director of Pharmacy Merchandising and Marketing. "Creating awareness about alternative programs available to diabetics through a mass retailer will allow a greater number of patients to participate in a program that offers specialty shoes at no cost."

Now, WHERE is InStride Shoes located you ask?

29 Polhemus Drive
Hillsborough, NJ 08844

A mere 18.9 miles or 27 minutesaway from Homeclicks address in Edison...... :)


Just in case you were wondering, upon calling Homeclicks customer service number, it was verified this week that Homeclick is STILL using that address in Edison as their office (and you are welcome to call yourself and check). :)

Now, do we know for sure if there is ANY connection between George Foreman's last venture with diabetic shoes called InStride and this new company (The "National Diabetic Shoe Company")? NO. However, I DO find it interesting that out of all ALL of the companies that could be sharing an office space with Homeclick LLC's office right now (or subsequently (if Homeclick is in the process of moving), possibly MOVING IN to the office where Homeclick LLC ONCE WAS), a Diabetic Shoe company is rather intriguing isnt it?

I cant WAIT to see what happens around here when the curtains are pulled back...
