Wildwood, FL January 8, 2015 – Great Plains Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:GTPH) has announced  it will focus on its core business of acquiring and operating cash producing real estate and taking strategic interests in small to medium size businesses. To do this more effectively, it has discontinued the operations of its low-return legacy business of manufacturing, marketing and selling the LiL Marc, a plastic boys’ toilet-training product. LiL Marc had come under increased sales and margin pressure from a Chinese competitor.
 
We continue to add income producing properties to our portfolio and continue to evaluate future development projects and existing properties.  In addition, we are exploring other opportunities including our recently announced acquisition of an ownership and royalty interest in Bonjoe’s Gourmet Chips located in Ocala, Florida.
