I had an IM conversation moments ago with Nicolas Kimball of Jungle Runners. Apparently they are packing up and heading back to St. Augustine. He wanted me to announce the following:

If anybody downtown wants to have jungle Runners in there office. We will be more than happy to provide a coffee service to downtown offices. This service will include installation of coffee makers as well as the Coffee every one has grown to love

Here is the conversation we had over IM today:

2:31:05 PM rnlee24: hey Joe,
This is nicolas Kimball from Jungle Runners
2:31:14 PM rnlee24: Need to make an announcement
2:31:15 PM joeymarchy: whats up nick
2:31:20 PM rnlee24: Nada dude
2:31:20 PM joeymarchy: -o-lass
2:31:47 PM rnlee24: Here the scenario We have pulled Jungle Runners Express out of
2:31:49 PM joeymarchy: whatchu got?
2:31:55 PM rnlee24: Down town Jacksonville
2:35:18 PM joeymarchy: the anticipation is killing me :)
2:36:49 PM rnlee24: The manufacturing of our product comes first. If anybody downtown wants to have jungle Runners in there office. We will be more than happy to provide a coffee service to downtown offices. This service will include installation of coffee makers as well as the Coffee every one has grown to love
2:37:25 PM joeymarchy: cool, thats too bad it didn’t work out. were there too many logistical challenges?
2:38:00 PM rnlee24: You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink
2:38:14 PM joeymarchy: meaning?
2:38:28 PM joeymarchy: you weren’t making money
2:39:28 PM rnlee24: When I turned the keys over to the opperational partner. My sales were on a incline within 2 weeks my sales went flat because of lack of promotion
2:40:25 PM joeymarchy: so you feel that lack of promotion drove Jungle Runners out of Jacksonville?
2:40:30 PM joeymarchy: unltimately
2:40:31 PM rnlee24: No
2:41:14 PM rnlee24: I feel like the lack of visibility in the space that I had.
2:42:44 PM joeymarchy: gotcha, so you feel like you could have been more successful if you have greater visibility, maybe in another space
RNLEE24 disconnected (2:43:36 PM)

Nick disconnected from IM before he was able to clarify the last statement so my question about them being successful with greater visibility will have to go unanswered for now.
