KISS Korners Missing In Canada
October 6, 2009, 15 years ago
It appears that KISS fans in Canada will be missing all the cool marketing gimmicks surrounding the release of the band's new album. Walmart, the world's largest retailer, are exclusively offering up Sonic Boom, in a three-disc set that also features KISS Klassics, a 15-track completely re-recorded greatest hits CD, as well as a live DVD shot in Buenos Aires, Argentina during the band's 2009 South American tour.
To complement this highly-anticipated music release, over 2800 Walmart stores are featuring KISS Korners in their electronics departments and Halloween aisles. The KISS Korners offer KISS t-shirts, wigs, makeup, blankets, limited edition KISS M&M; candies, KISS Mr. Potato Head spuds, and of course the Sonic Boom CD set.
BraveWords.com checked out a number of Walmart locations in the greater Toronto area and not one had a KISS Korner. In fact there was little, if any advertising for the record at all! The pricing is still decent - $13.99 Canadian for the set. But you'll have to cross the border to get the swag attached to the Sonic Boom.
