drift- kkgd's comment is quite plausible.
It's even likely. It's common business practice to comp a company in order to have them endorse a product.
I say it's quite likely because EESO didn't give a dollar figure. If they are embarrassed about the size of the order/dollar amount, then they shouldn't have dedicated an entire news release to it.
Who the hell releases news about a single order from a small business? This is pure unadulterated name dropping, and a harbinger of things to come vis a vis this buy-out nonsense. I assure you it's all nonsense, given this bit of tripe today, as even more proof.
This franchisee 'deal' has been hyped ad nauseum on this thread, and by this company. Well, there it is, enjoy..
When you say, "that's not true" I hope you're saying, 'that's not precisely what the NR said'. Lies of omission are still lies drift.
That is not true at all....eom
