Thought it was interesting when I read the last PR. Jim Lundeen, who owns RJM Distributing, is also the owner of Killabrew Root Beer. Among the many places it’s sold...Target Stadium, where the Twins play. We’ll see

Tony can't satisfy LVVV. Do you really.....

think he has the where-with-all to purchase a spot in a MLB park?

Yes, it cost money. In other words those spots are bid on. This is money APRU does not have.

You know you bid to get retail space in an airport? In other words you have to guarantee a sales threshold. Tony cannot compete at this level.

Now is it possible for Apple Rush to set up tasting booths? Perhaps, but why would they want to hurt vendor sales with freebies?

Tony should focus on Florida and the SE and go from there. This national strategy might make for good PR's for novices, but it's not practical at this point.

My brother in law works in the food and beverage at Comerica Park(Tiger Stadium) he told me their menu is set before the season begins and any additions happen the following season.

I would be surprised if much larger brands of fruit juice aren't already available in stadiums.

When APRU's most successful salesperson was celebrated for opening a handful of gas stations, and even that person is fired or quit, who do you think is going to convince a stadium to switch supplier to a risky unknown brand instead of sticking with Mott's etc.?
