Whoa, what am I missing here? I thought Fountain owned Baja which was all American Holdings. How can Baja then turn around and acquire Fountain, Donzi and Proline? Sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors to me.

Well, uh I guess so. Sounds like basically good news except I had thought Baja was going to benefit from Fountain's building techniques and expertise. Now, will Fountain be built to the Baja standard?!

Good news, hoping the product is good as well. The initial offerings from the new baja looked like a step back IMO, I am hoping they are careful with their designs going forward, some big shoes to fill.

What scares me the most is the people that are no longer involved with these lines, it is more than a name. Who are the main players in this new venture?

Interesting, could this open the door for the return of Reggie to his brand? What a cluster-f**k!

I'm confused with all these inbreeding brands.....Faja, Bountians, Beckmates, Dajas, Bonzis. This is as bad as a WV family reunion (sorry to my fellow OSO WV members).

I agree on to many brands. There will always be buyers for each brand. Just not enough to sustain any one alone at this time. Reduce the brands and build a following. In the end one or two brands will get the needed time to succeed.
