RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:The Fund responds...
RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:The Fund responds...I'm not as bothered about the use of the kitchens and staff of Jack's - the Fund did not pay for these. All we own is the brand. What is at issue is a) the use of our customer lists leading to b) lost sales and royalties because of new competition.
May not amount to a hill of beans at this point, but still. The communication from SIR Corp has been lacking.
Interestingly, the independent trustees have not responded to implied criticism of them - will they do so in the run-up to the AGM?
In the meantime, looks like we are in for an elongated lockdown in Ontario, which isn't going to help the SP in the short-term. I guess if SIR CORP is hurting for cash, they can sell a chunk of SRV to Lembit!

Convenient that Renegade not only has an immediate kitchen, supply chain and employees all created by Jack's but also can market to clientelle built on the back of Jack's and Scaddabush, profit from it and yet say we did it all on our own? I don't think so.

I understand the trademark part of that statement. However, are they not using the trademark restaurant kitchens for their operations ? Without the infrastructure in place supported by the trademarked restaurants would the Renegade kitchen be viable ?
