Very great. I bet Sysco has some very big national clients, too. Imagine getting SMKY's salmon into a national restaurant or hotel chain!

Not sure if we'll get a PR on every big order, but there is the potential that the newswires could get very busy here. And if these orders come from other publicly-traded companies, those shareholders may see our news as well.

This really is a story stock, and we have barely turned the first page. :-)
