I got a reply this evening! I may not get the chance to offer it, but will call in the morning! Who knows what may happen! Of course, I'm going to respect a request to keep a phone number confidential, like I would your address. Or you would mine.

My conclusion: The product is ready, but the distribution is not. It may show up for Internet delivery before it shows up on store shelves.

In this age, where the "Cook-In" sauce could be discussed, dismantled, emulated and demanded, it just could no longer just be discontinued and forgotton, like in the old days. And that is the opportunity that the new ownership bought into. Ten years ago, the brand would have been worthless and forgotton, once discontinued. Things are new now. My web site is called www.SFFDGear.com if you want to see what the folks at Woody's saw.

Here's what they said:

Hi Bill,

Good news the first production run of Woody's is now complete!   I am working in getting Woody's back into the local stores including; Safeway, Bel Air, Raily's etc. in California.

We don't necessrily sell direct to consumers but we do have online retailers that do at: www.woodyscookin.com

I took a look at your website and I would like to discuss with you further about the oppurtunity in retailing Woody's on your website.

When you get a moment call me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx (I request that you please do not publish this number). We have a toll free number now for consumers: 1-888-747-9229.

I look forward to talking with you soon.

Have a great day!

Best Regards,
