There are small natural foods companies that have been made by Whole Foods.

of money
re-tooling).

By "made" above I think you to mean 'became established". Indeed, Joshua, those
are not
rumours, that's how it very often goes. Ask any accountant, "increase sales
big, go out of
business." Whole Foods was once small... today there are thousands of small
"whole foods",
in Seattle PCC has I think five stores, and a fiercely loyal customer base.

One's job in going into an industry is learn who the players are, and start
solving problems.
