He could just as easily be licensing the name to someone else who built the stores. If he millions to pour into stores, why didn't he put more money into JAMN to make it more successful?

Im not sure what you're thinking but, by simply "pouring millions" into a business , it does not automatically become successful. Ever.

How exactly does that matter? He convinced a lot of people to invest in this business, but he's the one who reaps the greatest rewards. If JAMN is making $300K in a quarter from the coffee sold to South Korea, I can just imagine how much Rohan is making on the deal.

Okay, in my honest opinion , I do not like the way that this company began. They were on the OTC's before there was even any coffee sales. We can't change that now or look back and dwell on it. What people like you and I can do (are you even invested into JAMN) is look at those shops in Korea and hope that they keep attracting the attention that they apparently have.

Lets say they had 3 stores in that last quarter. thats $100k in sales per store. $400,000 a year IF it does not grow which it appears Korea is a strong market and it will grow. But lets be easy on the growth part because i know how you feel about that. So, Starbucks stores in 2013 averaged more then $700,000 a year in sales. How does that sound to you?

Now, lets go ahead and open two more stores in Korea that our friends here have mentioned . You must be pretty unhappy because pretty soon stores and sales are going to grow.

Do you understand what I said? I was saying to take them away mathematically to compare US sales now vs. US sales from several years ago.

Did you read what I said? They should not have gotten into so many retailers so fast. No company in its right mind gets into so many stores without proving better sales to themselves. With that being said, apparently they are planning to market their coffee in these stores and do tastings. Only time will tell how well that will do. But one thing is for sure. The more people hear and try this coffee the more it will sell and resell and sell and resell.

Because he still owns the name Marley Coffee; he can let the public company fail and still sell coffee with his private business. He's already doing that, of course. So what does he need JAMN for?

JAMN doesn't actually do much of anything. They import beans; they pay another company to roast, package and ship them. They have one office. What have they done in the last quarter to cut costs, other than cutting marketing and sales, which is needed to increase revenues?

Well sir, apparently JAMN does do much of something. Without the importing, the paying of roasting, packaging and shipping. Oh wait, I bet you thought the Marley Coffee store fronts did all of that?

They started paying in shares and not cash, thats kind of a huge deal. They actually planned to spend more on marketing more strategically so what exactly is wrong with that? They are going to pay the right price for the right marketing instead of the wrong price for the wrong marketing.

Do you follow Marley Coffee on any Social Media?

Their deal with Best Western was supposed to be huge. The deal with AVT was supposed to be huge. The BikeCafes were supposed to be huge. The BlackRock coffee service was supposed to be their model for a nationwide chain of office coffee locations - and now they're selling that. They make a lot of promises, but I don't see a lot of delivery.

The deal with Best Western was practically at the very beginning, yeah? Might as well forget that now.

AVT was a silly disaster that the owner of AVT probably juiced up and made it sound so good. Auto vending is not the future.

I think that the BikeCafes are overpriced in my opinion so I can agree to an extent there. Although, there are certain markets in the USA and around the world that may have some kind of potential. A coffee truck seems more like a better idea to me then a BikeCafe. If these BikeCafe's werent so expensive I would hire a nephew and have him run the show at the local University.

I don't think any of us know all too much about the BlackRock service. Sure there might be money to be made but it is not for this company.

Do you see these recyclable RealCups as a different angle? A much different approach to any of these?

Brophtron, I enjoy talking to you about this and i dont want to just go back and forth. Do you see Mother Parkers being the ones stepping up with the experience telling MC to ditch the office service and steering the company to jump into the booming Cup business ? I understand how you feel about some hopeless dreams. But, the recyclable realcups to me appear to be Marley Coffee's biggest shot to make some big noise in the industry. We really need to start seeing some ads in the broader market
