"We view GLO jeans as an important brand that has tremendous potential to reach the fashion savvy Kmart junior consumer who shops with quality and value in mind. We look forward to working with Kmart to realize the full capability of this brand," said Jack Gross, CEO of Jones Jeanswear Group.

"GLO jeans rounds out an extensive portfolio of brands at Kmart, designed to help the junior and even young missy customer get the best fashion and latest trends at affordable prices," said Robin Creen, Chief Marketing Officer, Kmart Apparel. "Denim is an absolute staple for this shopper--her wardrobe often revolves around a pair of 'wow' jeans. Our goal is to provide as many options in cut, fit, and wash as possible in this must-have category."

The launch of GLO jeans in Kmart will also be supported by a national advertising campaign featuring ads in Seventeen magazine (March, September), People Style Watch magazine (April, August, September) and through online and social networking support as well as in-store /pOS visuals.
