Well, we who were patient and long on GMCH may be smiling ;>} all the way to the bank. Here is what I am told is the first of many, many news stories to be released by the company on their "NEW" marketing plans for GMCH. GMCH NEWS ! Looks promising ! Gourmet's Choice Launches Nationwide Franchise Program NEW YORK, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Gourmet's Choice Coffee Company (OTC Bulletin Board: GMCH) today announced that its Board of Directors approved the launching of a nationwide franchise program. Under the franchise program, franchisors will be allowed to operate Gourmet's Choice Coffee Houses at approved locations throughout the United States. James Tilton, president of Gourmet's Choice, commented as follows: "We view the establishment of the national franchise program as a further aggressive step in the revitalization of Gourmet's Choice coffee. After extensive analysis it is clear to us that Gourmet's Choice coffee is a significantly better product than that of our competitors. The franchise concept will allow us to expand at an extremely rapid rate at high traffic locations throughout America. Using the franchise concept in the United States will free up the Company's capital in order to launch Gourmet's Choice Coffee Houses in China. We hope to be one of the leading coffee houses in China by the end of the year 2000. "I am extremely proud of the aggressive campaign that we are in the early stages of launching. We believe the Coffee Houses will be a strong complement to the Internet site that we plan to introduce to the world in the near future. I am personally committed to building Gourmet's Choice into the international coffee company it deserves to be."
