Hey Republic investors and fans, 

We wanted to quickly thank you for helping us reach over 50% of our goal already. We are blown away with the early support! Chicago Inno just launched a profile on Lil Bucks, which you can view here: https://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/inno/stories/profiles/2021/01/05/startup-making-granola-alternatives-from-buckwheat.html 

We also launched our quarterly limited time flavor, Chocolate Peppermint Clusterbucks, on our website LoveLilBucks.com yesterday, and have received 31 online orders in less than 24 hours, selling through 2/3 of the limited time inventory. If we can get the average order rate up to 31+ orders per day, with our current AOV of $33, we could make $30,690 per month on our website alone. Kicking DTC into high gear this year!

If you'd like to try this new LTO, check it out here, and use REPUBLIC for 30% off a bag of this new flavor. 

Our organic Clusterbucks are being prepared for the Whole Foods order this week. We launch into 51 of their stores in the Midwest in February. We've received $21,112 in P.O.'s from our distributor UNFI this year and will be fulfilling those in the next two weeks.  

Thank you again for your early support. We're excited to be off to the races, just two business days into the New Year. 👏

Emily and the Lil Bucks team
