vendor Pepper Joe's sold yet again?

[Super Hots Canada]

So, according to a number of recent news articles a company called "Clickstop" has bought out the Pepper Joe's business and the owners have put their 19 year old son in charge of the operation:

According to the article in The Gazette, this company has no previous experience in the food industry and their son, who they've put in charge of PJ's, was previously working as an intern... On top of no past experience in the food industry, the article indicates they laid off all the previous staff.
 
If they cut out all the previous staff and are moving the whole operation to their base of operations, does that mean the farming/production itself is moving? Who's managing the production or is that all being outsourced? The articles don't really make much effort to clarify very much about this whole transaction.
 
Thoughts on how this might turn out?
 
(I didn't see anything mentioned about this elsewhere on the forum)

....note the gold and the martini.  Olive stuffed with a red jalapeno.  The man could market an image.  I am all like, oh and here is a duck.

Voodoo not really trying to defend, trying to explain value in the brand.  Pepper Joe presents well.  He is a character.  Site has lots of back links and ranks really well in google.  The man has been around for years.  Seems to me the new owners are mainly customer service folk.  Maybe they will address the problems you and cap have mentioned and improve on that name.  Maybe not.  I dont know.  I do wish them the best and have to figure they have more business sense than I do.
