Kmart is offering a full line of branded merchandise for 15-year-old Atlantic recording artist Cody Simpson. Now available in stores nationwide, the line includes apparel, accessories, toys, and back-to-school products.
Simpson and Kmart plan to celebrate their collaboration with a pair of in-store appearances by Simpson, slated for Monday, August 20 at Kmart’s Virginia Beach, Va., store (550 First Colonial Road) and Monday, August 27 at Kmart’s Orlando, Fla., location (730 Turkey Lake Road). Of those attending, 500 fans will be guaranteed signatures at each appearance, both of which kick off at 3 p.m. EDT. The first 250 to show a same-day Cody Simpson merchandise proof-of-purchase will receive a “VIP Fast Pass” to jump to the front of the line. The in-store appearances herald the upcoming release of Cody’s anticipated full-length debut album “Paradise,” which is expected to be released on October 2.
Simpson is marking the release of “Paradise” by teaming up with Big Time Rush for a North American arena tour.
