Fresh & Easy Family-Sized Prepared Meals Top Sales

Six larger prepared meals - serving four for just $8 - are a hit with customers

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh & Easy's 40 to 45 ounce family-sized prepared meals, introduced last month to help customers trying to feed their families on a budget, have proven to be a hit and are now the six top selling lines in the range of more than 110 products produced fresh daily in the company's Riverside, California kitchen.

Fresh & Easy's top selling kitchen product is the family-sized Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Alfredo, with the Chicken Teriyaki with Rice and Vegetables coming in second. The other best sellers include the larger-portioned Lasagna with Meat Sauce, Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs, Chicken and Bacon Macaroni and Cheese, and Chicken Burritos with Green and Red Sauce.

"Customers told us they were looking for larger sizes to feed their families on a budget. We introduced larger portions of our very popular kitchen meals, so our customers can feed a family of four for only $8," said Simon Uwins, chief marketing officer. "We are pleased customers are responding so well and are taking advantage of being able to save money without having to compromise on the quality of what they feed their families."

Fresh & Easy's kitchen products are developed by a team headed by Chef Mike Ainslie and are prepared fresh daily. All Fresh & Easy branded products contain no artificial colors or flavors, no added trans fats and only use preservatives when absolutely necessary.

Earlier this year, following increased customer interest, Fresh & Easy added larger packs of the most requested customer products including diapers, laundry detergent, produce, and cereals. The company plans to introduce more family-sized products in the future including eighteen count eggs, a jumbo-sized fresh pizza, and larger packs of fresh fish. Fresh & Easy also recently introduced a "Buy More and Save" promotion, helping customers save even more by offering deep discounts when multiple items are purchased.
