They still need a distributor for Orlando, the northeast coast, and north florida just to service walgreens. Once these distributors are all in place, fully stocked with product, they can more easily go after the cvs of the world, the florida supermarket chains, and of course the wal marts of florida. The beauty of it all, these distributors are already selling cvs, etc. beer products. They have merchandisers who weekly go in the store and actually put the delivery up, stocking the account's delivery. We are not depending on individual store's staff's to stock phase III, we have a distributor staff member stocking it weekly, who is certainly to make it a priority not to have any out of stocks. With today's technology, retailer's have all kinds of scan data available to them. walgreens will know exactly how many phase III units they are selling on a daily basis, to the bottle, for all 800 florida locations combined, simply at the touch of a button at corporate.

Seer I appreciate the input. I don't underestimate Walgreens. They are huge in Wisconsin also. I will be curious to see whether the monthly promotion you refer to actually takes place.

I am aware that the prices of EVERYTHING in all our Walgreens stores are much higher priced than any other stores. I will be interested to see what price this sells for there.

Obviously I am aware that those distributors will market to all their outlets. (if they didn't they'd be pretty poor distributors)

I would be curious to know why Florida was picked to be the test market area.

As I have said, I am following this stock for long term to see how it develops. I have nothing negative to say. I am just asking questions for which the answers will give a good indication of the direction we will head.

Always good to share information. GLTA
