GNGR Key Company Management
Grant Newsteder, CEO
Grant studied art and sculpture at The Parsons School of Visual Arts. He formed his own graphic design and print company and soon realized that many of the techniques used in printing could be applied to chocolates, so he decided to enter the field. His talents as a sculptor allowed him to create extremely detailed molds for use in making chocolate. Grant was soon asked by other chocolate companies to create specialty molds for their clients as well. As a result, he began consulting for those companies. He traveled first to Canada to meet with a group of investors who had an interest in starting a chocolate business, and provided information, advice and hands-on assistance in setting up a location, purchasing equipment, and training personnel.
Grant traveled to Japan to consult for SGO, a company which had just set up a chocolate manufacturing facility and needed start-up assistance. He formulated production schedules and trained SGO workers to operate machinery and make molds. He helped management make contact with buyers and offered suggestions on packaging and supplies. His support allowed the facility to begin day to day operations as a full service chocolate production company.
Grant has used his extensive graphics and print experience to further improve his technique for applying edible color to custom molded chocolates. He formed Got Chocolates, Inc. in 2000 and the now publicly traded Gunther Grant, Inc., in 2002. Got Chocolates was acquired by Gunther Grant, Inc. at that time and became a part of the publicly traded entity.

GNGR Products & Services
Got Chocolates, Inc., sells to wholesale clubs
Having successfully sold one pound gold box fudge to 5 BJ's wholesale clubs, we are working to get production up to the volume needed to supply hundreds of additional locations and possibly thousands. Because our gourmet fudge line is a year round item that is also shelf stable even in extremely hot temperatures, it is perfect for enjoying or sharing anytime. With increased sales during various holidays such as Mothers Day, Fathers Day and from Thanksgiving through New Years, It's the perfect item that is worthy of also being bought to give as gifts.
Sales Figures:
Having tested our fudge in 5 BJ's wholesale club locations with a sales total of $2200 on average for those stores was $440 per store per week. Using the same proven sales figures in our wholesale club test, the sales nationally from just 250 locations at the minimum (not including influxes during various holidays) is $110,000 per week. Without adding in increases in sales for holidays we can conservatively estimate and based on proven sales to achieve $5,700,000+ annually. This is only for BJ's locations and does not include Costco, SAMS, or other larger retail locations like: Home Goods and Target.
Got Chocolates, Inc., sells Ad Specialty promotional products
Currently we are producing promotional products for the Ad Specialty industry. We receive individual orders for promotional chocolates that are used by companies to promote themselves at trade shows and events and what better way to lure new customers then with CHOCOLATE.
These purchase orders we receive are between $500 and $40,000 for each individual order with the average being in the $2500 range. With over 70,000 sales associates nationwide who call on corporate accounts, We are preparing for a huge surge in sales for fall and winter of 2012.
It's not common to receive so many orders from one sales associate exceeding $100,000 in annual purchases orders, but that has been the case with some of our distributors. We are now focusing on that kind of customer relationship with just 250 of the 70,000+ distribution sales associates in the member network.
Sales Figures:
A response rate from 70,000 registered ad specialty distributors who each represent a minimum of 50 customers totals 3,500,000 orders placed each year. A 2% response from these companies who use a variety of ad specialty items including chocolate will place an order for no less then $500 to as high as $100,000+
Our annual individual ad specialty distributor sales figures rage from $750 to as high as $100,000 per year per client. One order placed per company using the minimum conservative average of $500 per order at a 2% response from each of the 3,500,000 clinets is $35,000,000 in annual sales.
Short video shows how two people can pump a $2.49 fudge every second - Thats $9000.00 per hour.
Got Chocolates, Inc., Selling Wholesale to Craft Show Vendors
We have created a program that will allow self employed craft show vendors who want to make more money by adding an additional booth to the trade shows they attend or to add our products to their existing line of merchandise they are already selling. We will also design a custom label that represents each vendors individuality which allows them to market the product as their own brand.
There are thousands of craft shows each week nationwide as well as thousands of food festivals, street fairs, county fairs and parades, all of which have vendors who sell everything including food such as hot sausage, pretzels, hot dogs, cotton candy etc. What better place then to have vendors sell "FUDGE"
Selling our fudge to these vendors is KEY to tremendous sales, because these vendors attend craft shows as a means of income and lively hood. Unlike our fudge on some counter in a convenience store that may get lost among all the other candy and other items for sale, at these craft shows our product is usually a stand alone item that is more like a JUST FUDGE store and people LOVE to buy more then one to take home or as gifts.
- Selling to craft show vendors eliminates product competition if it were on a shelf in a candy store.
- Vendors MUST sell to create their personal income so they promote it and market it as their own.
- People LOVE craft shows. They also intend to spend which allows vendors to sell a lot of product.
- Vendors can make $2000 or more per craft show they attend n NET profits.
- Vendors don't need any health permits to sell our line which is pre-packaged.
- Vendors call in their order, pre-pay, and fresh product is shipped right away the next day.
and most of all.
Everyone LOVES FUDGE!
Sales Figures:
An industry average response rate of 2%, using our current vendors average 6 month purchases of $4500 each. With a reported 250,000+ known vendors, 2% equates to 5000 vendors using our program. These sales figures total $22,000,000 annually. 5000 vendors divided into the amount of craft shows in the United States also equates to less then one vendor per show.
