Feedback: Peer: Good morning Naomie.  Selling spices to consumers is a wonderful idea.  In Texas, we have one major chain for a grocery store, that only sells their products and their spice choices are in need of some serious assistance.  I think there is always a need for spices, especially in restaurants and local stores.  Some consumers, such as myself, love spices added into our food.  I'm a foodie, I don't have the patience for cooking, but my husband would really love a company such as yours.  I think you did an excellent job on this week's discussion.  Have you ever wanted to run your own company? Sounds to me like you would know how to gain customers and keep them coming back for more.  Thanks for sharing.  Stay safe, and have an amazing day.   Professor feedback: Naomie, Thank you for your response.
