I've read through all the documents and can't find anything that indicates how I would get a return on my investment. The Wefunder documentation references multiple classes of investments, but I haven't been able to locate anything that tells me which of these applies to the T...

Hi Coll, Thanks for the question. Your investment in Tucson Tamale would be in a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity). A SAFE grants an investor the right to obtain equity at a future date if Tucson Tamale sells shares in a future financing.

As a plant based eater, I have appreciated your vegan selections. Can you tell me if your future food items will also have vegan selections?

Hi Jennifer. Our philosophy has always been to start by making the best product possible, flavor, taste, ingredients, convenience, nutrition and always keeping dietary preferences/needs in mind. That said, we will always look at vegetarian/vegan options as part of any new items we launch. As you saw in the video we are preparing our Tamale Bites and a line of Fresh Pack Salsas. All the Salsa are naturally vegan and one of the Tamale Bite profiles is vegetarian.

Good work thus far, I have liked what I have reviewed but have a few more inquiries. What is your exit strategy to get you from today to the liquidation event? What is the estimated time between those two dates? Lastly, how have you positioned yourselves for the liquidation ev...

Hi Luke, We will be looking at an exit strategy at some point in the future. When and how we exit will be dependent on so many unknown future variables, such as size of the business, timing, who and/or how the exit would work. I know this may sound simple, but we are positioning ourselves for an exit by growing the business as large as possible. We have established relationships in the investment community and will continue to cultivate those relationships. Thanks, Sherry & Todd

I invested $1,000 and was under the impression that I could receive a discount on the purchase of your various products. How does one activate this discount? Can the discount be used at any location? Thanks.

Hi Andrew, Once we get the funding (the first round of funding is tomorrow), we will be sending out the discount codes to the email address you invested with. The discount can be used online (Nationwide Shipping) and at our physical location at 7286 N Oracle Road in Tucson

I love your tamales, but find your Green Chile and Cheese variety less sweet than the traditional Sonoran Green Corn Tamales of my youth. How much would I need to invest to sweeten things up just for me?

Thanks for the feedback, Kelly. And, I loved your PUN!! The tamale of your youth likely had some added sugar to literally sweeten it up. We don't add any sugar -- just the sweet organic corn.

Tucson Tamale is an awesome product, led by passionate founders. Nosotras creemos en Tucson Tamale. We believe in Tucson Tamale. We've known Sherry and Todd Martin for 20 years, and we've seen Tucson Tamale grow from a humble take-out shop to a significant force in the national tamale market, with over 5,000 retail locations in stores like Whole Foods and Krogers. We believe in the growth potential of Tucson Tamale and their expansion into other food offerings. They have grown over 30% per year over the past three years, and the North American Mexican food market is anticipated to grow by over $66 Billion by 2026 (according to technavio). But, it's not just the fantastic product, their growth history and the larger market expansion that makes us believers in Tucson Tamale. Sherry and Todd lead their team with honesty, transparency, inclusion and deep caring for their people. They give traditionally marginalized candidates a chance to learn, apply their skills and realize their potential. Sherry and Todd always see every interaction, every team meeting, every interview, as a chance to teach, listen, and improve. These folks are the amongst the hardest working, committed, insightful people we know. Scott Beth and Keith Jantzen
