Every large chain has their house brand.
Ok, well I’ve tasted Great Value foods and also we have Safeway Select brands and Western Family ... some taste thing there that’s a bit off ... I spend the extra few cents and get the name brand ....
Every large chain has their house brand.
But, I'll tell you what every large chain doesn't do -- that Walmart is doing.
You won't find these large retailers and chains getting rid of certain name-brand products and only having the "off-brand" house product (meaning no name-brand product there in the store for that item).
If all Walmart was doing was just like the other big chains... it would be no big deal. Yeah, have your own "house brand" there, too. That's a great idea.
But, what they're doing is making it so that the consumer has to "leave Walmart" to get that name brand product at a competitor of Walmart's (for whatever name-brand product/products Walmart has discontinued, leaving only the off-brand on the shelf).
Now, that's the stupid marketing trick that no other big chain has been dumb enough to try... LOL...
***”Great Value” orange juice is my favorite. Walmart has had GVroducts for years***
They better not mess with my Old Roy or Equate brands!;-D
