Here's another way to put the possibility of $90M revs ( +50% rev growth/ year ) into perspective. The majority of LWAY's revs have come from health food stores. They've been in supermarkets of Jewels and Dominiques in the Chicago area for a while, but only recently started into Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Dierbergs, Albertsons and possibly Schnucks.
Say 75 supermarkets nationwide this year. Add +50% a year in supermarket growth:

1999 ----- 112
2000 ----- 168
2001 ----- 252
2002 ----- 378
2003 ----- 567
2004 ----- 850

Hell, Albertsons alone now has 1000+ stores.
Several more distributors signing on in August, increased advertisement spending, someone hired to head up marketing, new collaborations/products coming. Tell me we can't be in only 850 supermarkets in 6 years.
Dont' think production capacity is going to be a problem.
