    The convenience store industry is seeing a rapid rise in private label branding across all categories. Private labels are often cheaper than national brands, which is a solid selling point as financially strained consumers tighten their purse strings. Two advantages—high availability and low price—have also made private-label products considerably more appealing to consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The consumer shift toward private labels also benefits retailers, since these products are typically more profitable for them. Furthermore, high-quality private labels can gain a devoted following and become a powerful driver of customer loyalty. In this session hear from three leading retailers on why they are continuing to develop and expand private label products.
