Vertical Integration

Team,

What do think about GC3 starting a coffee roasting operation. I have done some initial research and I believe this could decrease GC3's COGS and allow them to start a new profit line by becoming a wholesaler and retailer of their own brand of beans (ie. the coffee GC3 sells to Great Scoops would cost GC3 $3/lb instead of $5/lb). I will do some research on startup costs associated with this operation and have data on Saturday.
