KMART TO INTRODUCE 32 NEW PRIVATE LABEL BEVERAGE PRODUCTS

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -Kmart today announced the addition of 32 new products to its assortment of private label beverages under the American Fare® brand name.

The new American Fare products include vitamin water, bottled green iced tea, Free Fall™ and Loop™ energy drinks, and Fruit FX™ (fruit-flavored water), and a 10-pack of juice pouches with 100 % of the recommended daily value of vitamin C.

"From energy drinks, flavored water, vitamin water and teas popular with teens and young adults, to real juice pouches and mini-bottles of fluoridated water for the entire family, there's a full range of new American Fare beverages," said Tom O'Boyle, vice president and general merchandise manager, food & consumables for Sears Holdings. "We're thrilled to offer our customers these premium quality products at a low Kmart price."

The new products join the existing line of American Fare beverages, which includes a wide variety of flavored sparkling waters and various drinking and spring water products.
