- like most private label fields, one manufacturer can do dozens of them for different areas of distribution -- nm - peglegpete Nov 16, 23:01 8
  - it's a marketing case, not a supply chain case. distribution's not a factor. I don't get why store brands are marketed at all. I hate grocery stores. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 16, 23:05 7
    - Right now we are marketing the store brand because people have less money to spend. Plus we make more off them. - Todd Manning Nov 16, 23:28

        It makes $35M on it being an event movie. It makes % -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 22:42 3
