John,

Sure do not want RAIN to open stores faster then they can manage them correctly! When you only have a hand full of stores such as RAIN does they can only open 4 or 5 stores and still show 50% growth in their store base! I would really be concerned if they try to start opening more then they are now on a percentage basis! If it is a great concept as I think it is then locations can wait for the real RAIN to come and not have to worry about copy cats or other concepts taking away from RAIN!

Hi John,

Nice dialogue here between you and the McNabb Brothers.

I've also questioned the rational for opening only 8 units this year, (what was it 8 units last year too) when they are twice the size they were last year. Why the effective reduction in the growth rate? I may be kicking myself here soon, but I sold my first shares in a long time on Monday. I've needed to diversify anyway.

Derek
