July 7 Update
July 7, 2012- Early Sunday morning I head up I-75 to Cleveland, Tennessee to meet our latest and largest retailer to date, Cookes Super Saver Cost Plus. They have seven stores dispersed in eastern Tennessee, north Georgia, and western North Carolina. They are family owned and operated which is the very type of partners we are seeking to carry our products. Thanks to Dave and Barbara Olson for giving them samples of our sauces. I look forward to seeing them as well. I will post pictures on Facebook with a formal announcement once I am there. From Cleveland, I will be traveling to Waynesville, Asheville, and other NC towns to introduce our product and re-stock our current retailers. The weeklong trip will also have stops in Charlotte and Spartanburg, but I am leaving time and room for God to provide other opportunities that He may have not yet revealed. If you know of a place I should visit, please email me at elmer@ebestbarbecue.com.
The Trailblazer is packed with 50 cases (heavy) so I am asking for prayers for safety and God’s blessings as I drive through the southeast. I owe Jan a mountain trip since she has to work, but right now, that’s what’s paying the bills until E’s Best gets more established. Thanks again to everyone for your words of love and support, and for spreading the word about our sauces. Especially, thanks for your prayers!
E’s Best!
