External note

I met with Mark Carlson. Meijer is opening "two new" stores this week and they were gracious enough to give me Monday A.M. appointment. As cherries play a very large role in their produce departments merchandising plans, we discussed our entire 2015 presentation. We discussed the crop's timing extensively and the possibility of working with them to assist in other cherry activities. They are planning to open "Two New" stores in the Wisconsin market in June. This is a new market for them and many more stores will open there. With the timing of these stores' grand openings there could be many opportunities for us. Mark will get back to me with suggestions. We also covered apricots and the use of our logos. They have somewhat of a problem with logos as their ad covers many states and they may have to fill in with other fruit due to customer demand and inventory issues.
