Bankrupt Dot-Com Proud To Have Briefly Changed The Way People Buy Cheese Graters
SAN FRANCISCO—Egraters.com, an Internet retailer that filed for Chapter 11 last week, announced on its homepage Tuesday that it is proud to have briefly made people rethink the way they buy cheese graters. "Unfortunately, we were not able to see our revolution all the way through," read the message from CEO Jeff Bell, 29. "But for a brief, shining moment, we showed the world that there is a better way to buy graters." Bell said he hopes to one day relaunch Egraters.com and "smash the tyranny of traditional brick-and-mortar cheese-grater-tailing."
