Bull points

- We now have over 60 locations where existing customers are buying a new product category from the combined business.
- So I believe some of this work, not all of it, is starting to create new business and or opening new doors for us.
Bear points
- as I mentioned earlier, we have already consolidated, integrated our corporate supply chain team.
