	Store Brands Today
		Whether a store brand carries the retailer’s own name or is part of a wholesaler's private label program, store brands give retailers a way to differentiate themselves from the competition.
		In some cases, a store may belong to a wholesale buying group that owns labels which are available to the members of the group.
		Moreover, store brands are made of the same or comparable ingredients as the national brands and because the store's name or symbol is on the package, the consumer is assured that the product is manufactured to the store's quality standards and specifications.

		She states that a store brand is just as good as the name brand and it has the same taste as the name brand.
		There were a lot of people coming into the store where I was and that I knew so they asked what I was doing and I told them in which I think made them choose the one they thought was the store brand.
		I also believe that more people choose the store brand over the name brand is because the store location is in such an urban area where people are not really use to buying name brand products because they tend to cost more than what there budget can afford.

	Capital Ideas - Why Store Brand Penetration Varies By Retailer
		From the national brand's perspective, encouraging the retailer to carry more brands and deeper assortments may be the most effective way to keep store brands in check.
		When store brand quality is high, competition at the retail and brand level are more important, as are variables capturing economies of scale and scope enjoyed by the retailer.
		On the other hand, retailer imitation of successful store brand programs is more threatening to national manufacturers because within-store loss of share to the retailer's store brand (or for that matter another national brand) is not likely to be made up with a sale at a different retailer.

	story #69, organizational and business storytelling in the news daily update
		The power of the brand narrative has been so thoroughly examined in recent years that it is pretty much taken for granted: brands have meaning, brands inspire trust and (crucially) brands command a premium from consumers.
		Ol' Roy Dog Food is a Wal-Mart store brand - a ''private label'' product -- what used to be called a ''generic.'' It's a dry dog food made especially for Wal-Mart, which is the only place you can buy it, and its attributes have been extolled in not a single TV commercial.
		The story of Ol' Roy, then, is this: in the age of massive and complicated ''brand building'' efforts, a store brand without explicit advertising is thriving.

	Which store brand cereals stack up to national brands? - Slashfood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		All of the brands made their cereals with whole grains (4g fiber per 115 calorie serving), but some of the lower-priced brands tasted stale, so you might have to take a chance on your store brand and see how it fares.
		The name brand was more than double the price of the store brands for this cereal, so it is definitely a good idea to opt for those over the name brand.
		In fact, I've found that the Publix brand products taste the same if not better than brand name items and of course cost much less.Their chips taste just like Lays, their jellies and jams are identical to Welsh's etc...BUT..there is absolutely NO substitute when it comes to sodas...
