Giant Vending Machine

A few years ago when we first started our stores, we talked about building a Giant Vending machine. Of course through the years we have had amazing people in the stores. However, we wanted to create an environment where we could literally have Self Check Out and someone at the door checking reciepts. Basically creating a Giant Vending Machine. If we had great people working in the store, this would be a bonus.

I don't think we ever got to that point. What is interesting, the hotel industry is figuring out this model. I am staying at one of the coolest hotels that I have ever stayed. Check out Citizen M in Amsterdam www.citizenm.com , it is a very cool environment.

The place is totally wired, the rooms are some of the smallest I have ever stayed in (think Hudson in NYC). They are maybe 10ft x 10ft and that includes the shower, toilet, sink and bed. However the design is spectacular! Check In and Check out is done by the guest and I think there are 2 Employees on the premise (one of them is a bartender, smart a tremendous revenue producer).

Mr. Kuhlman, I am an Investor in your company on the OTC exchange, myself and others are very curious as to the status of this company. I/we have been trying to get information about the company's status. Do you have any idea when a PR or an SEC filing will be done? I am a member of investorshub.com. But, we need more. The website and digging REAL deep to find ANY info is a daunting task. I have also sent an email thru the info link on the website. You are welcome to visit investorshub and post on the board created for this company. I'm sure they would like to hear from you, just as other OTC CEOs have. You should contact the board mod or assistant. Please let us know what is going on!!
