COFFEE REPUBLIC - 2007 Liberated! It’s all about the brand !

i posted this in reply to analyst on iii


hi analyist

the rdfs are from external sources but i would thin if they were internal it would be a even bigger sign the directors have every faith in this company
i know for a fact one big cheque for the two rdfs has already been sent and one cheque for the fec also.the balance of payments are then on a monthly basis for a short period of time.forget what u read on here about no cheques been sent that is rubbish and i know that for a fact..
speaking to the guys at cr direct the first two stores open in february in leeds in a premium spot in the banking sector and in mansfield in the busy market town.they estimate they will open a minimum of 25 shops within tthe fec and rdf deals this year.they are exhibiting at the amusement show next month where they expect to see a real surge in applications.i understand from their sources they have already sent over 100 franchise packs since they took the deal on six weeks ago.this has to bode well
these guys are very much driven to taking this company all the way and both have a sizeable share .
so forget what u read from certain people ,the answers are in the rollouts .watch very closely march and april especially for the fec deal as most of these deals will have to be done before the summer season starts
as for the coffee ,if cr can win the best airport coffee from heathrow it tells u it cant be all that bad .
hope this helps ,i will be back at the end of january when hopefully cr direct can inform us of the interest after their big exhibition

thanks
