Direct-to-Retail Program to Land at All Carrefour Hypermarkets
Throughout France This Fall
Hasbro,
Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) today announced a direct-to-retail deal with
Carrefour the largest retailer in Europe, to launch an exclusive
cross-category LITTLEST PET SHOP program in 4,500 locations throughout
France. The program, which rolls out in November 2012, celebrates
LITTLEST PET SHOP Moonlite Fairies and includes premium space in the toy
aisles dedicated to a wide variety of LITTLEST PET SHOP licensed
products across multiple categories. The Moonlite Fairies-inspired
lineup will mirror the style expression of the mini-dolls which feature
angular ears and fairy wings as well as the infusion of night sky colors
and lots of sparkle and metallic, and glow in the dark elements.
"The Moonlite Fairies program at Carrefour is a stellar example of how
Hasbro has built on the core essence of the LITTLEST PET SHOP brand to
create an exciting channel that will bring to market fresh and
innovative merchandise for girls throughout France," said Simon Waters,
Senior Vice President of Global Brand Licensing and Publishing at
Hasbro. "Shopping for LITTLEST PET SHOP items at Carrefour this fall
promises to be great fun."
The exclusive range of LITTLEST PET SHOP products available this fall in
the Moonlite Fairies section will include: t-shirts, sleepwear, bedding,
a coloring set, an advent calendar and toys.
