CVS Health, the parent firm of the pharmacy/convenience stores, this week launched a new private label brand, Well Market, encompassing snacks, beverages and groceries.
“Through this repositioning and expansion of our food and beverage portfolio, we are doing more by providing new nutritious options our customers crave,” said Musab Balbale, chief merchandising officer. “From the easy-to-understand packaging to the delicious snacks themselves, our customers can feel great about consuming Well Market products as part of their individual wellness goals.”
Some appeared and this week and others will roll out through the end of year. Altogether, Well Market will bring 40 new products to the shelves of CVS Pharmacy stores nationwide and on CVS.com. In addition, the existing Gold Emblem, Gold Emblem Abound and Big Chill product lines will be brought under the Well Market umbrella over time.
Some examples provided were Turmeric Curry Trail Mix, Sea Salt Rustic Plantain Chips and Dark Chocolate Lightly Dipped Cashews. CVS also claims a first-to-market line of flavor-infused sprouted almonds -- including Salt & Vinegar, Zesty Dill Pickle, and Maple Cinnamon -- with each flavor infused during the sprouting process. Sprouting can create new micronutrients and it may help the body digest nutrients and increase their bioavailability.
