Den, I couldn't disagree with you more. Your last post sounds more than anything like a justification for your previous post. Janik was very wise to go after a man like Fowler and I wouldn't be surprised if he follows suit by adding another successful restaurateur to the board. The move into the Internet/e-commerce sector may be very profitable but it's not a replacement to their restaurant business.

Heritage has got a lot on the go in the food & Beverage sector and I'm expecting that they will grow GCSC immensely by June 2000. My perspective of the Platinum deal is very realistic; I think it's a great move by Janik - moving his franchise business into the Internet sector - but not enough information has been released on it to make it my primary reason for staying invested.

On the other hand, I've been to the GCSC, I've seen the set up and tasted the food and I am thoroughly convinced that it has what it takes to become a winning franchise. I used to travel daily throughout central Ontario and would eat lunch, and quite often dinner, five days of the week in restaurants for about six years. I've probably eaten in more restaurants than such culinary critics as Ruth Reichl, Sara Waxman, and David Rosengarten put together. I've learned which restaurants do well in a given area and which ones don't. I take dining very seriously (in case you haven't noticed) and have always chosen quality over convenience.

The Great Canadian Soup Company is a WINNER! And I would gladly travel out of my way to eat there. But hey, I'm glad they're doing the Internet thing too - it's an added bonus for my investment dollars. BTW, have you been down to the GCSC on Bay yet? I'll be there again tomorrow if you'd like to meet up for lunch. I'll be there between 11:30 and 1:30.

All the Best
