I would agree that shelf space is one of the biggest points of competition between the major food and drink companies, especially soda, chips, salad dressings, etc.

However, a lot of stores now have sections or aisles devoted to "ethnic" or eclectic foods. In my hometown, Dominicks and Jewel have an aisle like that and it seems like there are a lot of independents with product on the shelves, including various nutritional juices, etc.. We are not trying to displace Coke or Pepsi from its shelf space, however it will be challenge getting into the majors.

Another challenge is being able to prove that you can produce the product for multiple dleiveries (i.e. a soft contract to deliver x cases for x number of weeks to x number of stores). IMO, this will also be a difficult sell to the retailers until we have firm financing. That could explain the international focus the company has taken so far.

Yeah Chuckr, I Agree. I like this discussion, but talking about shelf space seems premature, until there is demand for the product. I saw a trailer for "Analyze This" last weekend here in Orlando, and I thought to myself that that was one of the movies AV was going to get placed in. All it needs a solid introduction to the 18-34 demographic and the rest should take care of itself. Not to discount the shelf space issue, but where is the marketing?
