Impressive work and congratulations. Self funded or did you raise capital to help? Curious how you went about scaling things up.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Impressive work and congratulations. Self funded or did you raise capital to help? Curious how you went about scaling things up. Self funded and risking everything. But we are a 40 year old log home company. After 2008 we got our teeth kicked in and knew we had to diversify. But it took years to even begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel and as soon as we did we made the move to do it. It could all go south and crater our entire lives but I believe that this country was built on vision, determination and going for it. Oh and of course all the white privilege of working all the time and the risk of me losing everything if it fails. |

Can't forget the Sky and Blue Jeans and who can forget Blue Raspberry Italian ice and some times the box Privi comes in. Or Rio Shot shells. I like Blue. Blue Buy You. And Suede shoes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So OP, Do you have any plans to distribute your wares in Northern Arkansas maybe? I have plans to dominate the world! Unfortunately, distribution doesn’t really care about my plans. We are a tiny fish in a massive pond. You must fight tooth and nail to even get noticed. For instance someone like me might be putting up a billboard directly across the street from a big distributor out of Knoxville

I wish there were any chance of your product coming through the commie faggot ABC system in NC, but it's deeply unlikely. Even though all the ABC stores around here are running seriously low on everything. Guy I talked to when I picked up my last bottle of bourbon said they're running something like 30,000 cases behind.

NC is in my sights but it is going to be a pain and I feel like we need a footprint first. The only reason Virginia gave us even a small bone is partially due to us being a VA distillery. My next goal is TN then Kentucky. Or really anyone we can get. But controlled states like VA and NC are ridiculous. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only one close to us that has it is Bristol on Euclid St. and in Abingdon. We had to pick the stores and though it would have stoked our own egos to see it on local shelves I chose places with big numbers and better geographic spread. Virginia Beach, Roanoke, Richmond, Salem, Alexandria, Abingdon, Lexington, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, and Bristol. Bristols numbers don’t warrant it. It I suspect that will change when they open the casino. I wanted to be sure we were there. I am in the Richmond area. Could you share with me the name of your product? I like to keep $$ within the great commonwealth. |
