DRAPER, UTAH - Nov. 17, 2013 - Ready Store Inc, the leader in food storage and emergency preparedness, has introduced a new line of products that aims to help families prepare more easily. "Most people don't know where to start preparing," said Paul Fulton, president of The Ready Store. "People are beginning to realize the need to be prepared with food storage and emergency supplies. However, they feel frustrated because they don't know how much food they'll need - or how much it's going to cost them when they're done." The new EasyPrep line of products aims to answer those questions and make the buying process simple for customers. Customers will also be able to add buckets of fruits, vegetables, desserts and more.

However, almost half of them believe they don't have enough supplies to be ready for the catastrophe. (Kelton Research, 2012)
