Z-Axis: I've asked that, and my answer is a resounding blah.
Number 1) we don't know the details of that arrangement. For all we know, those stores weren't part of the pilot program, or perhaps they were, or perhaps they were added after the pilot program extension, or maybe they were a corporate mistake, or etc., etc., etc.
Just not enough to go on. I have asked myself about the addition of those stores, and my answer is blah. Like I said a minute ago, I think we would have heard at least one official reference to the deal in JF's last two interviews.
People have short memories, but everyone here HAS to admit how bizarre it seemed after JF's CEO wallstreet.net interviews when he didn't even breathe a single word about CC. Why? Well, IMO because he had nothing good to say about it.

Kermit, ask yourself this:
If CC wasn't going to follow thru on partnering, after having the initial stores, why would they recently start using additional stores in Florida? Sound like it'd be a waste of resources if they were going to cancel partnering with GnF.
