No not yet, the retail game is tough and we found out that our bar codes do not scan ( I have 5,000 labels and they don't scan). I need to contact my printer and find a way to fix that.

We also need to find some ways to lower production costs, and increase production without compromising quality. As things stand now we can't accommodate large orders on a regular basis and production costs are too high to make retail very profitable.

In my opinion it is the things that make our salsa great (variety of peppers and all fresh ingredients) are what make it a retail nightmare.

All the best...Bob.

I haven't updated this thread in a while so here is whats new.
We just received a new review from Scott Roberts, who is kind of a heavy hitter in the spicy food world. His review can be found here http://gringovalley.com/News.aspx

We also have a retail location in Swanton where people can buy our Salsa. Johnston Fruit Farms at 2790 Airport Hwy
Swanton, Ohio 43558 is stocking our products.

We have completed development of our "Hot" Salsa which is considerably hotter than our "Original" , and should be in production by the end of the year.

Lastly I have been in contact with several local farmers, and hope to contract with some of them to grow all of our ingredients locally by next season.

All the best...Gringo Bob.

That's a huge downer to run out in the middle of a football game.

I'll keep a lookout for your order and make sure you get it before next game.

P.S. my holster is awesome, the most comfortable one I have ever owned.

Sure, How about free shipping for black Friday.

I really hate the high cost of shipping, it kills a lot of sales for me.

Wow...I wish I had seen this sooner!!!! I will be placing an order on Friday once funds allow it..Do you have a pick up location here in Toledo that I can just come buy it from out of curiosity? If this is as great as it is sounding, a couple of suggestions for possible larger long term sales for ya..

1: The Meat Market stores would probably LOVE to carry this.
2: Star Diner..would go great with several of their dishes, plus the local aspect!
3: Much bigger yet, but if you can swing the production amounts, think about The Andersons.

If you would like help locally with talking to some of the smaller, independent retailers I would be MORE than happy to help. I worked retail for several years, and the remainder of my adult life has been in Emergency Services..Talking to strange new people is NOT a problem for me!

So, in summary...Friday can not get here soon enough, and, a HUGE...

BUMP!!!!!! :mrgreen:
