Albertson’s LLC Releases Stylish Reusable Bags
Albertson’s LLC announced that it will release its new “fashionable, reusable shopping totes” in its stores today.
While the totes typically retail for $1 each, for the next week shoppers will receive one for free with the purchase of certain items such as French bread, bagged salad, eggs or shredded cheese.
“We’re excited to offer more than the usual generic bag with just a company logo on it,” said Mike Withers, vice president of marketing. “These totes are fun and something our customers can be proud to carry.”
Albertson’s LLC hopes the new totes will enhance their “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” customer-educated campaign. The campaign includes such initiatives as in-store plastic bag recycling, reminders to utilize reusable bags and a goal to reduce plastic consumption throughout its stores.
The company recycled over 1.7 million pounds of plastic and 35 tons of cardboard in 2007. Albertson’s LLC currently operates over 250 stores in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas.
