| Business Description |
| The company was organized in 1991 to develop, market and distribute specialty chewing gum products under its own brand names and on a private label basis for other chewing gum marketers. The company's current chewing gum products contain ingredients which it claims (i) promote weight loss, (ii) contribute to energy and endurance, (iii) alleviate certain premenstrual symptoms and (iv) promote oral hygiene and breath freshness. The company also markets a chewing gum product which includes antioxidant vitamins. The company contracted with others for the manufacture of all its chewing gum products in its 28,000 square foot facility in Phoenix, Arizona. The facility employs 13 workers and is expected by the end of 1996 to produce most of the company's current chewing gum products and provide the capacity to meet most of the company's current private label requirements. The company markets its chewing gum through wholesale distributors who distribute primarily to natural food stores and through other brokers, marketers and distributors to convenience stores and independent grocery and drug stores. The company also markets to chain grocery, drug and club stores and to larger private label customers who market under their own brand names. |
