*****If we can hit $200,000 before closing we will be adding some about $12k in retooling to our plan. With this minor adjustment to some equipment, we will be able to attack a very large segment in 2020, so please do not hesitate to share this campaign or this webinar with potential investors!****

The actual, possibly last update

We have been overwhelmed by the support given to and faith placed in us by all of you. Allow me to give you some more good news and lofty projections before actually taking your money. 

Since launching the campaign we have added 7 new foodservice distributors giving us access to over 400,000 restaurants. We have landed over 500 new restaurant accounts including some that will be high profile for us since they will be featuring our brand on their menus. Those who have already invested have visibility into which ones I am talking about. Everyone else will have to wait until the programs roll out throughout the year. 

On the retail side, we have added a similar number of stores with more on the way. Elain alone has grown our Independe Direct business by 75 accounts making up $27k in revenue. At the same time, we continue to grow with our primary distributor and the larger accounts they service. Rollouts for the end of this year and beginning of next year include national retailers and large regional players. 

We had our best July in our history clocking nearly $70k in revenue in what is on average a slower month.
