Obviously TCBG is still learning a few things about start-up realities. They are also learning that sometimes keeping quiet is best.

As TCBG hasn't released follow-up information directed at the July 16 news release, I will speculate that it relates to the IR's communication that they awaited packaging with customized artwork for both Winn Dixie and WalMart. True or not, this notion has kept me comfortable with the delays. The time-line fits.

If artwork is the delay, I expect there will be no repercussions from this stall.

Also, as I understand it, the Winn Dixie packaging was expected prior to the WalMart packaging, however this speculation is based on my puzzle-piecing together several pieces of news and IR comments.
