Recent communications with IR have squarely placed the current waiting period on WalMart's shoulders. I last phoned a week ago.

Apparently TCBG awaits a WalMart signature before production can begin. I suspect there has to be more than a pencil holding up progress.

Also, in recent conversations, I find the order may take twenty-something days to fill. I'm not sure whether to accept the earlier 1-2 week run or the recent 21 (I think this was the number) day production run.

Also, WalMart, by agreement, get's first product. Therefore, Winn Dixie necessarily comes a few weeks later.

I'm disappointed with this current delay. While it should be expected, based on recent history, I'm bummed when I extrapolate the 'delay' factor forward. How will it affect the speed of growth in the future?

Oh, well. First delivery, actually first production, can't be too many dozen hours away. I really need to hear grinding gears soon, though. As a confidence check.

Shoe.
