Poi Company for Sale?

We ran a promotion of some sort on KITV-TV in late 2001 or early 2002, and something went wrong.  I don't even remember what it was, but I do recall that KITV-TV offered us a complimentary block of ads to apologize.

When we sadly decided to close The Poi Company, Inc. we decided to use these free ads to try to sell the Company --- our desire, in particular, was to save our colleagues' jobs.

The ads ran quite prominently, but we received few calls, and none from qualified (or serious) purchasers.  I just ran across the ad when clearing out some old computer files, and it was quite a sentimental journey.  While the Company is no longer for sale --- the ad is fun to watch.

A "poi grinder" covers a multitude of things. The Poi Company had a $168,000 Koruma grinder, made in Switzerland. As a back-up, we had a much smaller flour grinder -- cost (new) about $2,000.

You won't find a grinder made to grind poi. You have to find a generic grinder that will grind taro. Trust me, it won't be an easy task. Most grinders are made to grind dry material, and the taro corm is a very gnarly, wet beast!
