CirTrans Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill To Make Retail Debut
SALT LAKE CITY--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--CirTran Corporation (OTCBB:CIRC) today announced that its Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill™, the electric indoor/outdoor grill endorsed by the former world heavyweight champion, will make its retail debut in time for the holidays in a special seasonal promotion at hundreds of major Midwest retail stores, and with related advertising targeted to millions of consumers.
The retail locations are owned by Jewel-Osco®, a SUPERVALU company that operates 170 in-store pharmacies in Illinois, Iowa and Indiana, and by Roundy's Supermarkets, Inc., a supermarket chain with 152 stores (Pick ‘n Save®, Copps Food Center, and Rainbow® Foods) in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Real Deal Grills promotional shipment will have a retail value of approximately $100,000, and will be featured in "Black Friday" advertising circulars from Jewel-Osco and Roundy's stores.
Introduced via infomercials in the U.S. in 2007 and in Europe this year, the Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill is manufactured by a CirTran subsidiary -- CirTran-Asia, Inc. – which specializes in consumer and small appliance products. The Grill comes with a deluxe stand and multiple interchangeable cooking surfaces and other add-on items, making it what Glen Tanner, CirTran's vice president of marketing and sales, calls "a very versatile cooking appliance for any occasion . . . whether you're camping in the mountains, tailgating at a game, or grilling at home."
Prior to this retail debut, the Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill has been available only through infomercials and online through the CirTran and Holyfield Web sites.
"CirTran is proud that the Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill is available at Jewel-Osco and Roundy's," said Iehab J. Hawatmeh, CirTran's CEO. "They are legendary retailers in the Midwest. Customers who count on Jewel-Osco and Roundy's for quality products and fair prices will be able to see and buy these Grills in their stores in time for the holidays."
Mr. Hawatmeh added that CirTran is "in negotiations with other leading retailers in order to bring the Real Deal Grill to their shelves in 2009."
