Rockelle To Expand Beyond Food Service Industry

On January 23, Rockelle founder and CEO, Jerry Stephan, will embark on a trade expedition to China. "Through relationships I've developed from the food service industry, I have been approached by several Chinese companies that are interested in doing business in the U.S.," explained Mr. Stephan.

Mr. Stephan will be accompanied on his trip by Dr. Fei "Phillip" Du, Ph.D., a Chinese born businessman with extensive contacts in Mainland China. Dr. Du has recently served as President of European Investment Corp. Ltd., and Chairman and CEO of Warton International Holdings, Inc.

Mr. Stephan will be meeting with vendors and suppliers interested in exporting their products to the United States. "The purpose of this trip is to finalize our negotiations with manufactures who have agreed to supply goods for a new venture which we will be opening," added Mr. Stephan.

"The first location under consideration is in Long Island, NY," said Mr. Stephan. "We're looking at various household consumer lines such as hardware, textiles, small equipment, tools, sporting goods, shoes and clothing, just to name a few." Mr. Stephan continued, "We anticipate revenues reaching $6 million per store annually."

Mr. Stephan went on to say, "It is Rockelle's intention to open an additional two locations in 2008/2009."
