In 2004, the company moved back to Madison Heights. Sales are estimated between $100 and $250 million. Kar's business is divided into four market segments that include route sales and delivery to retail outlets in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, vending machine products, specialty markets and Club Store segment. Kar's products are packaged in single serve, family and super sizes depending on the market segment.
