Early execution showed turns below expectations. Only 3 weeks of improved data. 15K stores is ambitious for a product that initially underperformed. Retailer confidence depends on consumer pull-through.

GIS has strong retailer relationships and distribution muscle. But Love Made Fresh is a new category requiring cooler infrastructure that retailers must invest in. Early weak turns may slow retailer commitment to expansion.

The operational changes that improved performance (3 weeks of data) may take time to propagate. If improvements are genuine and sustained, 15K is achievable given GIS distribution strength.

Challenging Freshpet as incumbent means retailers already have fresh pet coolers. Love Made Fresh may be placed in existing Freshpet coolers or require separate investment. 15K is a reasonable target given GIS scale.

Early underperformance is a negative signal. Retailers respond to scan data and early weak turns reduce willingness to expand distribution.

GIS has the distribution muscle to push 15K placements regardless of early performance. The question is whether management maintains commitment given early mixed results.
