do you think your store maintains a dairy and creamery of their own? It's very possible they get their butter from places like Land O Lakes and slap their store brand label on it. Think about that next time you enjoy your morning toast DUmmies...
Yep, stores like Lucky, Kroger, Safeway, Target, Smart & Final, and Costco get their store-label products from brand name producers. The stores get brand-name quality, and the producers get increased capacity utilization (the fixed costs are the same, whether the facility and equipment run at 70% capacity or 90% capacity).
