Tony, Wally.. I totally agree. These little operations in high traffic areas can generate lots of $$$. They are generating cash as soon as they draw a mug of root beer. Probably not a huge expense to open these stands either. I don't own shares yet but am watching closely!! GLTA

Rockelle Signs Contract for Chock full o'Nuts at One of Long Island's Busiest Railroad Stations Thursday February 1, 9:00 am ET
MILLER PLACE, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Rockelle Corp. (OTC BB:RKLC.OB - News), a developer, owner, operator and franchiser of unique quick service restaurants, cafes and food concepts, is delighted to announce that it has received the Village's preliminary approval to open a full service Chock full o'Nuts eatery at the Patchogue, LI Railroad station.
Chock full o'Nuts coffee was founded in the early 1930s in New York City and soon became one of the most favored coffee and quick service food establishments in the greater New York Metro area. In December 2005, the Segafredo Zanetti Coffee Group purchased all of Sara Lee Corporation's U.S. coffee brands, including Chock full o'Nuts.
The Long Island Railroad is one of the busiest commuter lines in the United States and the Patchogue Station serves many hundreds of daily commuters. The current mayor of Patchogue, Paul V. Pontieri Jr., was instrumental in coordinating the Village's meetings regarding this project. When completed, this Chock full o'Nuts franchise will provide much-needed food services for commuters that, heretofore, were not readily available at this station. Rockelle will also have exclusive vending rights.
Gerard Stephan, CEO & Founder of Rockelle Corp. said, ``We are very encouraged by this development, as it allows us to enlarge our franchise opportunities with Chock full o'Nuts in the New York Metro area as well as other anticipated locations throughout the United States. Chock full o'Nuts is working with us on acquiring other well-known sites that should allow us to enjoy solid growth in 2007 and later years.''
According to Mr. Stephan, Rockelle Corp. has other significant business developments with Chock full o'Nuts, Kahala Corp. and Stewart's Root Beer which they hope to announce in the coming months.

Additionally, this agreement allows for Rockelle to receive residual income from every pound of Chock full o'Nuts coffee sold through every location we broker.''
Rockelle Corp. expects this broker agreement to produce a successful revenue stream in 2007 and beyond. ``When combined with all of our other business developments and alliances, and the recent acquisition of Stewart's Original Root Beer and its trademarks, we have never been more confident of our bright future and our ability to grow shareholder value,'' concluded Mr. Stephan.
