From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sam's Choice is a private label brand created by Cott Beverages for Wal-Mart discount stores, supercenters, and neighborhood markets. The brand was introduced as "Sam's American Choice" in 1991 and has since been shortened to simply "Sam's Choice". It is named after Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart. Items produced under the Sam's Choice label are primarily grocery items.
Wal-Mart also markets a type of carbonated water similar to soda under the Sam's American Choice label, although the word American has been phased out. Called Clear American, it comes in a variety of fruit flavors, such as Black Cherry and Key Lime. The name may have been derived from, but is unrelated to, a popular non-Wal-Mart brand called Clearly Canadian.
