Maybe other restaurants and other hospitality-related businesses will follow suit. <BR/><BR/>Since I was working from a press release that the Harraseeket issued, I passed along the information that the release provided.<BR/><BR/>I've found the owners to be committed business people, who care about the state beyond just turning a profit. If they can help market their own business, and provide any kind of support to other local business people, I think that's a winning combo.<BR/><BR/>I'd be curious to hear from anyone directly connected to the industry for their take on this.bizdirectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075359837213246485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558991238231317860.post-90415871331088476342008-11-06T10:40:00.000-05:002008-11-06T10:40:00.000-05:00I don't understand how this helps the lobster indu...I don't understand how this helps the lobster industry that much. It's marketing for the Harraseeket. <BR/><BR/>I understand supply and demand. If they sell more lobsters then that can have an effect on price. But it's a trickle down effect that will take time and gets distributed along the supply chain.<BR/><BR/>If the Harraseeket wants to put more money in lobstermen's pockets, why don't they deal directly with them and pay a "save the industry" premium?<BR/><BR/>Maybe they already are doing it but it's not apparent in this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
