Literally what I said. It seems like people like coming here with baseless statements, just to get other people nervous.
I have the emails to prove it.
I can actually believe that there was no shortage... Based on prior dealings with the company... Truth is our clients who couldn't get from the company and distributors directly, got a bunch of skids from a local chain at a much better price.
But as I see from my front row seat... Many small specialty food companies are closing their doors which is hurting our company. Smaller beverage plants, nut roasters, specialty bakeries, can't companies. Large bakeries (specifically those baking Staples such as bread), flour Mills , large beverage bottlers (especially those servicing hospitals- not so much for those servicing airlines/hotels- often it's the same company), cereal companies, dairies, etc are for the most part doing well.
