As much as / no one know if there would be another

Dear teachers,

I would like to have your feedback regarding the points below:

Actually it would take only a year. The first order of Chobani yogurt –150 cases-- was delivered to a kosher grocery store on Long Island in October of 2007…no one knew if there would be another.

Hamdi Ulukaya: The store manager called me and said, “I don’t know what you’re putting into these cups. I cannot keep it on shelf. Don’t tell me what you’re putting in there.” At that moment, I knew this was-- like, three months in, this was not going to be about if I could sell it. It was going to be about can I make enough.

It would require more machines, bigger facilities, more milk from the surrounding dairy farms, and a lot more people. Between 2008 and 2012 production of Chobani yogurt grew to as much as two million cases a week, revenues reached a billion dollars a year and the number of employees shot up to 600 ... It’s now roughly a thousand.

1. Could you please let me know the meaning of "no one knew if there would be another."?

Does it mean that no one knew that there is a yogurt company named Chobani at that time?

2. Between 2008 and 2012 production of Chobani yogurt grew to as much as two million cases a week.

I think the sentence above should be: Between 2008 and 2012 production of Chobani yogurt grew to as many as two million cases a week because "cases" are countable.

Hope to have your help.

Thanks and best regards,

David Kim
