So, after all that work to get the Kiva loan funded, my kiosk manufacturer has decided to close. I spent 5 weeks talking with another manufacturer, so very excited as they offered a lot more for opportunities. And now, I just found out that this second manufacturer is also choosing to close. I am very tempted to figure out how to build kiosks myself. In the meantime, I am focusing on slowly rebuilding my local presence and getting back into manufacturing some products of my own. I now have branded pre-fills of my core products in unscented varieties. Laundry, Dish, Hand and Body Wash. They will be added to the site and will be at future markets. I am developing a kind of manual kiosk for refilling these branded pre-fills. It's not as cool as the electronic kiosk, but should service pretty much the same function. Hopefully I will be able to announce its launch by the end of October. Still working toward a full scale refillery as well middle of next year. Thank you for your continued support!
