Store brand
Encyclopedia
Store brands are a line of products sold by a retailer under a single marketing identity. They bear a similarity to the concept of House brands, Private label brands (PLBs) in the United States, own brands in the UK
, and home brands in Australia
and generic brands. But they are distinct in that a store brand is managed solely by the retailer for sale in only a specific chain of store. The retailer will design the manufacturing, packaging and marketing of the goods in order to build on the relationship between the products and the store's customer base. Store-brand goods are generally cheaper than national-brand goods because the retailer can optimize the production to suit consumer
demand and reduce advertising
costs. Goods sold under a store brand are subject to the same regulatory oversight as goods sold under a national brand.
A Food Marketing Institute study found that store brands account for an average of 14 percent of sales with some stores projecting they will soon reach as high as 20 percent of all sales. Store branding is a mature industry
; consequently, some store brands have been able to position themselves as premium brands. Sometimes store-branded goods mimic the shape, packaging, and labeling of national brands, or get premium display treatment from retailers. (For example, "Dr. Thunder" and "Mountain Lightning" are the names of the Sam's Choice
store brand equivalents of Dr Pepper
and Mountain Dew
, respectively.)
Research has found that some retailers believe that, while advertising by premium national brands brings shoppers to the store, the retailer typically makes more profit by selling the shopper a store brand. This assumption has led to a spurt in the academic and trade literature on the subject of positioning the store brand as compared with the national brand.
In most cases, while store brands are usually cheaper than national (or even regional) brands, they remain more expensive than generic brand
s sold at the store. (e.g. Pittsburgh
-based Giant Eagle
selling their store brands for less than national brands but more than Topco's Valu Time generic brand.)
The "no-frills" grocery chains primarily, such as Aldi
and Save-A-Lot
(though most Save-A-Lots do sell limited name brand products, which vary from whoever owns the store), sell store brands to promote overall lower prices, compared to supermarket
chains that sell several brands as well as other goods and services. Richelieu Foods
, for example, is a private label
company producing frozen pizza, salad dressing, sauces, marinades, condiments and deli salads for other companies, including Hy-Vee
, Aldi
, Save-A-Lot
, Sam's Club
