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

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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 is a great addition to Walmart’s wide array of kitchen

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.”
