Well, this August Duane Reade thing seems to have gotten out of hand. There has been no specific date bloged by Eric.

On July 22 some one asked about Duane Reade, Eric replied that things where still movice forward, but he did NOT wish to set a date. see BLOG # 1 below.

A Subsequent Question was asked, ASKING for more specifics,,
Eric's second reply has 'It looks ggod for August' But if you read these two blogs together, you should be able to see that this is NOT erics date, it is a POSSIBLE date set by the Client.
Eric was only relying what he had been told. AND made it CLEAR that it was not set in stone..

SO THERE ARE NO DEADLINES TO BE MISSESD HERE. It just is what it is. The Client will do it's thing, WHEN THEY ARE READY.

Shareholder Question: Duane Reade, New York City

Uncategorized

QUESTION
….has there been a agreed upon launch date?

ANSWER

We received a written up-date today with reconfirmation of the chain’s
intention to get the launch back on track. The chain also proposed the
time frame that they estimate, now that things seem to be clearing up.
I would prefer not to be specific about the date in this update both as
a courtesy to the chain and to our own shareholders, until there is a
very high level of confidence that the new date will be met.
Regardless, it’s “all systems go” with the launch, to the best of our
understanding, as per written confirmation, received today.

July 22, 2011 - Follow-up Question: Duane Reade, New York City


Uncategorized

QUESTION
Thanks for the update, but does it look like a delay, like until the end of the year?
Sorry, but not sure how to understand that point.

ANSWER

It’s looking good for August. The exact day of the month is not known yet, and I would
be safer not to speculate with a calendar day. It seems that things are clearing up now.
We’re pretty excited around here because the account is a terrific platform for the
12-pack handy size bottles in checkout lanes. In-store demonstrations have been
approved for this product. Custom branded brochures have been approved. Street side
promotion has been approved. These will not all be deployed simultaneously, but a mutual
commitment exists to fully leverage the reach and appeal to shoppers of the Duane Reade
banner in New York with the strong product benefits for their consumers of 1000+ Stain Remover.
New York City is by far the most densely populated city in the USA, and we will be within
walking distance to most people in Manhattan. It will be a terrific moment when this
comes together. Remember, New York is a financial capital as well. Many people in
the investment industry will find it easy to see our product deployed – including in
stores in the lobbies of their own office building
