Tomorrow’s Impact also markets a line of candy with the U Go Grl name, and Sicilian said he hires returning veterans to work as independent contractors around the country to distribute the product to Wal-Marts and other stores.
The U Go Grl product is mixed in Ocala. Sicilian, who worked with a chemist to create it, said he has been in business for 20 years and moved from New York to Ormond Beach nine years ago.
