Ree Drummond Collaborates with Walmart to Bring Country Charm to the Kitchen in the All New Pioneer Woman Collection

Influential Culinary Maven Joins Forces with Industry-Leading Retailer to Launch New Vintage-Inspired Housewares Collection

LOS ANGELES--()--Ree Drummond, the force behind the wildly popular The Pioneer Woman blog, host of her own show on the Food Network, and New York Times bestselling cookbook author is launching an extensive collection of modern country housewares exclusively at Walmart. Featuring tableware, glassware, cookware, bakeware and more, the collection evokes Ree’s fresh and fun country style and joins Walmart’s broad assortment of affordable home and kitchen products. The Pioneer Woman collection includes items for every step in the kitchen – prep, cook, serve, dine and drink!

In partnership with Gibson Overseas, Inc., a leading producer of tabletop and houseware items, Ree’s collection will launch exclusively on Walmart.com starting Sept. 1 and in Walmart stores beginning on Sept. 14. With colorful hues and brilliant florals, the items have a true sense of Ree’s rustic flair. The Pioneer Woman collection showcases playful mix-and-match tableware that makes hosting a breeze. The cast iron cookware and durable Dutch ovens combine functionality and style to cater to home cooks everywhere. Additionally, the collection’s pressed glass goblets and tumblers are sure to shine in any tablescape! With competitive pricing and ease of use, The Pioneer Woman collection is a great addition to Walmart’s wide array of kitchen must-haves.

“With Ree’s powerful presence and eye for beautiful details, we are thrilled to be working hand in hand with her to create a high-quality and practical collection,” said Sal Gabbay, CEO of Gibson. “The Pioneer Woman essence is present in every piece in the line, and we look forward to its debut at Walmart.”
