Gloria Jean’s Coffees Winter Line Up Hits Stores

Gloria Jean’s Coffees has announced its winter line up of seasonal products and flavoured beans. Available for a limited time in three sizes, Gloria Jean’s new Jack Frost Un-Coffee Chiller & “Latte” and Sleigh Ride Cookie Chiller & Mocha will be offered at all locations nationwide. Because last year’s whole bean selection was so popular amongst guests, Gloria Jean’s is bringing back every flavour offered, including the brand’s premium Jamaican Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona varieties.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year and we wanted to get the entire family into the holiday spirit by offering flavours they love that are reminiscent of the season,” says Sam Ferreira, president of Gloria Jean’s Retail Food Group USA, based in Santa Fe, California. “Our new menu items have arrived just in time for winter with festive options for both non-coffee drinkers and caffeine-lovers! We invite all Gloria Jean’s fans to stop by while shopping this holiday season, on their way to work or just because, to enjoy these delicious new creations they can’t find anywhere else.”
