Competition in the Irish retail sector is fierce especially in the own brand sector. Competition seems to be between retailers and concentrated on their own brand ranges (Centra seem to be doing particularly well here) The price gap in own label products between the supermarkets and discounters continue to narrow. Do you like the prices that are on offer?
Every supermarket you go into these days (Superquinn, Tesco, Aldi, Supervalu, Spar etc) seems to have deals on, special offers and trying to out do each other in who is the cheapest, were you can get the most value for your buck but at what cost? Are you, the Irish public, compromising your brand standards of quality and taste?
With reports out in checkout magazine recently, it seems we are indeed opting for the own-label brands that stores have to offer. Do you agree with these findings?
