German Fight on Czech Soil

Perrier Listed in Lidl France
Nestlé Waters will be going through very hard times during their 2012 negotiations with major supermarket and hypermarket chains in France after listing one of their products in Lidl stores.
Lidl is one of the world’s major hard discounter and in continuous price war against the private labels of supermarkets and hypermarkets, by offering not-known brands to their shoppers. But in recent years, all major hard discounters started offering international brands on their shelves such as Nutella, Coca-Cola, Head&Shoulders and Nescafe and many others.
Lidl is selling Perrier PET 1l at a very attractive price of 0,64€ (3,84€ for pack of 6), while other major retailers are selling the same at an average price of 3,95€ in Auchan, 3,91€ in Système U, 3,88€ in Leclerc, 3,86 € in Carrefour and Intermarché.
Nestlé Waters had to calm down France No.1 retailer Carrefour by having a explosive promotion of “Buy 1 Get 1”.
Leclerc did wait long to follow on a “me-too” promotion on its private label, offered at 2,82€ the pack of 6x1l.
Costco … in Lebanon!
We all know who Costco is, and for those who don’t, Costco is the 3rd largest retailer in the US and operating in other 7 countries (Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan & Australia) and now in Lebanon!
OK, this is not true, because the store in question is a copycat, using a modified logo, even that the products are pure American and you can find them in a real Costco store.
DM Private Label on Amazon.de
German discount drugstore DM (Drogerie Markt) started selling its private label products under the different DM-brands online on Amazon.de, the latter will take care of the sales and distribution.
The cooperation is expected to be mutually beneficial. For DM it will be interesting to test consumer interest for its personal care products on the internet without having to invest in online logistics itself.
In case it would appear that online sales of relatively low-priced private labels will be a profitable business model, DM could decide to open its own web store.
