Autumn

Our new launch is going pretty well with most customers really enjoying our great new ingredients and house salads. Some people are missing some of their old favourites which is understandable although many of the products which we have removed were very slow sellers and have been replaced with products that we are confident will prove popular once customers try them.

Other than the launch things that have been keeping me busy are external meetings (which are part of a large project which looks to set the future direction for Vital) and visits to potential new stores, so far my FD and I have visited 8 locations this week and have another 8 to view. Our aim is to open 6 new Vital stores next year and we hope to have at least 2 in legals before the end of the year.
