Alton Stump - Longbow Research - Analyst

I think you talked quite a bit with the grocery channel of course. I just want to get an idea as to conceptually, with acquisition of Tully’s, how much is that really helping you in terms of getting into new stores, particularly in the West Coast region?

 

 

Jim Travis - Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. - VP of Sales

We had great distribution on the West Coast. We’ve actually leveraged Tully’s to help us on the East Coast. We mentioned when we made the acquisition we’d be leveraging a complementary brand in the East, and we’ve actually done that really well by adding Tully’s to our K-Cup line in the East with our four-foot set, with customers like Stop & Shop, Shaw’s, Hannaford and others. So we are pretty excited about what’s going on with the grocery expansion, especially with Tully’s in the East.
