Sara Lee’s L’OR Espresso capsules
Sara Lee Corp. announced today its new L’OR Espresso capsules have reached retail stores in France. The company delivered yesterday the first batch of one million of its
innovative capsules to more than 30 retail distribution warehouses throughout France. These warehouses, in turn, are providing products to more than 2,000 hypermarkets and supermarkets from the most important retailers in the country, such as Auchan, Carrefour, Cora and Leclerc.
“With L’OR Espresso capsules available in retail stores consumers can enjoy great quality espresso from a great brand and with great convenience,” said Frank van
Oers, chief executive officer of Sara Lee’s International Beverage and Bakery division. “This is an important first step in our strategy of broad retail distribution for L’OR Espresso capsules and we look forward to a very successful introduction of the product throughout France.”
Sara Lee expects to reach 50 percent of national weighted distribution during the month of April, promptly ramping up to more than 80 percent in May. L’OR Espresso capsules will be available also online at www.lorespresso.fr later this month. The recommended retail price for a box of 10 L’OR Espresso capsules is €2.99 and applies to all four varieties of the product – Delizioso, Decaffeinato, Splendente and Forza.
L’OR Espresso capsules are a new espresso capsule compatible with coffee appliances by Nespresso® – a registered trademark of Nestlé S.A., a company not associated with Sara Lee. The Nespresso coffee appliances have been hugely popular in Australia and around the world, due to their easy to use, no mess capsule system.
All L’OR Esspresso varieties are made with only 100 percent Arabica coffee grown and harvested in a socially and environmentally sustainable way, following the UTZ CERTIFIED® program.
Sara Lee is the world’s leading buyer of UTZ CERTIFIED® coffee. The company recently announced a commitment to source 40,000 tons of certified coffee in 2010:
a 33 percent increase over 2009 levels. Sara Lee’s International Beverage division operates in more than 40 countries around the world and generated $3 billion in net sales in the fiscal year ended in June 2009.

Would appreciate if you could advise which retail outlet to get the SARA LEE’s L’OR EXPRESSO CAPSULES in Perth?
Thank you.
I am glad to see someone else making coffee pods for Nespresso machines as they are expensive to buy. I am disappointed that your pods are selling here in Melbourne Australia for $6 for 10 pods and we can purchase Nespresso pods for $6.80. The Nespresso pods are guaranteed to not damage the machines and if we use your pods the warranty is void. You would have to bring the price of your pods down to a very cheap level if you want us to buy them and the difference in price is so little that I would not risk losing my warranty for a few cents. I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks
