What is next to come out of this?? I and many others must think there could be something else in this story to come out will WW come to each station and give a presentation of the situation.
I can't think of any company that discusses its disposition and acquisition plans before actually doing them (unless it is clear they plan to get rid of a unit).

Not saying anything about BACON probably was more about trying to find a willing buyer and deciding whether or not to continue with the operations versus the benefits/downsides of selling.

BACON has never been profitable (even before being rebranded). It was given 2 years to get profitable (stated publicly).

The writing was on the wall.
