(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer KFYR-TV, Wishek Sausage, a regional meat producer, is planning expansion into stores across North Dakota, indicating local food brands can leverage regional distribution as a growth channel.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you make a food product with shelf stability and local or regional appeal (sausage, jam, hot sauce, beef jerky), your TAM isn't the U.S.—it's the three states adjacent to your current base. Don't chase national distribution; chase depth in geography. Wishek's play is to own North Dakota refrigerated cases, then move to South Dakota and Minnesota. Per-store inventory turns faster when you have on-call inventory and local brand recognition. The play: identify the three adjacent states where your brand's *flavor profile* aligns with local cuisine. Run a 12-week pilot with one regional distributor in one state. Track turns per store and cash-conversion cycle. If turns exceed 8 per year, scale to the next state.\nWhat that means for you: if you make a food product with shelf stability and local or regional appeal (sausage, jam, hot sauce, beef jerky), your TAM isn't the U.S.—it's the three states adjacent to your current base.

You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — KFYR-TV: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMingFBVV95cUxNRGFOZ2hxNXQ0cDhFSUZwY2VabVJYQ0tINGdJRGVYZkNzY1l1VDhnSnBJVWNtYi1WRjZONmd3YkhoakpKbkZNWC16NDc3MnRJUFZVSUZzMkNSZk1mSVNyRVpLYlVfN1FkRklzWEdkYkpJY1hQMjE1NlEtZTVja2hGX2ZyYi11TVhVU1FFRG9ubW5mc2RYVml1SkRINnNvQdIBsgFBVV95cUxONF96N2JHaDJkQnJVSGxyWlk2NkN6RGtwVE9KVW9PbnNvOHF1ZExTY0drWDRIRVFVVGxsdUl5TldCZ1hIck5jTkpjdzFiTDlNWTM5TW5OcVhvQXMwTng4anlrVGV5dkxKTENieDhZNlg5WGxiMG5JYUhaa0hBZTdMOWxQY1hpRy1PZWgySTd3WUFTdnFHQ1R6LXhvMjdXLXRqTU50aG5GcUtkRWhkX1d1RWNn.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
