@OhCanadaOhCanada Captain Canada, you reminded me of something I've been meaning to look into! Just a gut feeling mind you, but TAAT started in two, 7-Eleven stores in Nevada!
I have a hunch, one of these stores is a corporate owned store!!!!! TAAT was given a chance to display at FOASC show, and this happened because of sales in these two stores!!
I've been meaning to call both of these stores and ask about TAAT sales, AND ASK IF THE STORE IS A FRANCHISEE STORE OR CORPORATED OWNED!
I can certainly see TAAT offering the corporate store 50/100 free cartons to trial, I know I would! Now corporate has a first hand account that can be compared to franchisees sales numbers!
Joe made many references to 7-Eleven in interview, and specifically stated TAAT was not a 7/11 corporate account YET!! I'll bet TAAT is just waiting on the phone call and all the leg work is done on this contract!
Something else to consider for future use, I live on the East coast of the US and people from the West coast are very different in many ways!!! You can tell by the way Joe speaks, he's got that laid back, California style, and his phrasing when speaking is unique!
I bring this up, because he told us in his own way in the interview, the 171 Par Mar stores are converting TAAT to a 'must carry" item! In the beginning of interview he said a customer of TAAT with 171 store is about to covert TAAT to a must carry item!
Then towards the end of interview, he was asked how the TAAT TWO trails were going in H T Hackney/Par Mar stores, Joe responded carefully and said, he did not want to speak on H T Hackney's BEHALF etc..., but to visit the 171 stores!!!
Both of these statements above, also included the states in which both companies operated in! These are bookend statements, and he's telling us, without telling us directly, TAAT's in Par Mar stores are about to go "MUST CARRY"$$
I think he did the same thing with todays new! Again, in interview he said his guys were stocking the 7-Eleven stores as he was being interviewed, he then said the same guys in California had another 100 stores to stock!!!!
ARE THESE THE SAME STORES ANNOUNCED TODAY????
Furthermore, Joe mentioned 7-Eleven many times as I've already said. He also mentioned the complexities or logistics of stocking larger chains! He specifically stated TAAT had to get into the distributors that serviced 7-Eleven!
Then when asked about raising money, he said TAAT was all set, UNLESS distributors such as McLane & Eby-Brown wanted TAAT to stock 27,000 West coast stores$$$$
My research shows both McLane & Eby-Brown are the stocking stores for 7-Eleven!!!!$$$$$$$$$ McLane was actually one of the sponsors of the FOASC event!
Now it gets even better, 7-Eleven only (LOL) has 9000 plus stores in the US, so that leaves 18,000 more stores!! Who are these stores, well AMPM another company Joe mentioned in interview has close to a 1000!!!!!
So to be clear, Joe & Setti often tell us a lot, without directly telling us, if we listen careful enough LOL!! There was a lot packed into Joes interview and serious investors should watch again, with closed caption ON!!!!
Have a great day everyone!!
