Stop and Restart

So we found out fairly recently that our apple flavor was never shipped due to the flavor house running late waiting for their own ingredients. Mind you we found this out right before our 'scheduled' run (last week).

So after some rigmarole we talked to our bottler and proceeded to wheel and deal with them to set up a new production run date so that our order was not postponed until next month. :(

After a week of back and forth emailing and phone calls we finally nailed down our run date to today, but without our Raspberry Apple punch. Although frustrating, it will allow us to focus with the 2 remaining flavors and come back in a few months with a new product flavor to launch come fall!

All in all we wanted to make sure everyone was aware of things that can and will go wrong with starting up a company. Even though we stressed, have been delayed and are launching with 2 flavors it is all coming together and teaching us something new all the time.

Mike is getting back tonight from Pennsylvania and we should be unloading our truck this Friday! He should be posting some pictures and write a little bit about it soon.

As always, feel free to send us comments or questions about our product/business or about starting up a company of your own.
