This has taken many months of planning and preparation and we could not be more excited about this announcement."

Jay continues, "In Colorado, everyone knows where there is a King Soopers nearby and we look forward to saving our customers money by redirecting the deluge of direct response sales we have experienced since beginning our relationship with local radio powerhouse KOA and sports legend Dave Logan, which has been so successful.
