Mergers benefit shareholders, not consumers. An important perspective with the recent Pro-Walmart piece in the WSJ. Thanks as always to Errol Schweizer for excellent grocery reporting.
I grew up shopping at New York City-area independent grocers like D'Agostino's, Key Foods and C-Town, so this was a fun one. Great conversation with National Grocers Association about why the indies are rooting for more antitrust enforcement to make retail markets more fair and equitable. #robinsonpatman https://lnkd.in/gKnASXme

Such a great article highlighting the growth of Shipley Do-Nuts, home to the world's greatest do-nuts! Check out the full story on QSR. #ClientsInTheNews
We'll just leave this right here: “I’m blown away by the amount of revenue that comes in the first few weeks in a market where I thought we had almost no brand awareness. But as we’ve gone to these new states, it has been overwhelming the amount of business that we do.” - Shipley CEO Flynn Dekker Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/483r0EU #ShipleyDonuts #DonutFranchise #QSRFranchise

For all $ort$ of rea$on$, this has been well-covered, everywhere. You know my thoughts! Just so you also know, Willian Grant and Sons are competing against THEMSELVES, in multiple markets but STILL manage to make annual, $half-billion profits. When are we having a Scotch Whisky Tourism Strategy and Budget, for Scotland? The Scotch Whisky Players are embarrassingly LOADED! It's completely ludicrous. Are we going to hear anything, from ANYONE about this? Or are we waiting ANOTHER 200 years, to see if Scotch Sales will drop and if Trickle-Down-Economics will ever work, for Scotch Whisky and Dufftown? #ScotchWhiskyTruths #ScotchWhiskyAssociation
William Grant & Sons — the Dufftown-registered, family-owned drinks business whose brands include Balvenie, Drambuie, Famous Grouse, Glenfiddich, Grant's, Hendrick’s, Monkey Shoulder, and Tullamore Dew — has grown its post-tax profits by 34 per cent to £444 million in the year to 31 December 2023, despite turbulent times for the global spirits industry. Turnover grew by 14 per cent to £1.962 billion. Soren Hagh, the Danish-born ex-Heineken and L’Oréal executive who took overv as William Grant & Sons’ chief executive on 1 January 2024, said: “Despite 2023 being a year faced with supply chain challenges and macroeconomic shifts, we are proud of the growth delivered across our portfolio of leading brands and look forward to continuing to build an ever-stronger company that delivers for our customers and consumers.” https://lnkd.in/e6B98h22

The Wine Group has many familiar brands from Franzia, Chloe, Cupcake, Glen Ellen, Almaden, Ava Grace. Purchased from CocaCola to be a private company by Arthur Ciocca. Success is created by long term sustainable values, by creating a culture of excellence. Putting customers first, then their employees, the middle man and lastly stockholders. "Most people are content on on succeeding without any value instead of creating wealth they are redistributing wealth to themselves". #PrincipledEntrepreneurship https://lnkd.in/gWzdv4WY

The brewery Thatchers, have lost a claim filed against budget retailer Aldi, over a rival product. The brewery filed an intellectual property claim through the High Court, claiming that Aldi were selling a copycat version of their Thatchers Cloudy Lemon Cider product. Thatchers claimed that Aldi were passing off as them, selling their Taurus branded Lemon cider. It was Thatchers’ position that Aldi were ‘riding on the coattails’ of the Thatchers brand and therefore taking advantage of the brewery’s reputation.

UK soft-drink maker Britvic plc has rejected a £3.1bn takeover bid from Carlsberg Group , saying the Danish brewer was “significantly” undervaluing a group whose brands include Robinsons and Fruit Shoot. Carlsberg made an initial bid of 1,200 pence per share earlier this month, before sweetening its all-cash proposal to 1,250p, which London-listed Britvic rejected on June 17. As well as producing its own brands, Britvic is PepsiCo’s bottler in the UK. Carlsberg is PepsiCo’s bottler in Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Cambodia and Laos. The brewer of Kronenbourg and Tuborg said the acquisition of Britvic would offer it “long-term growth opportunities”. It said it was considering its position after Britvic rebuffed its second bid. The acquisition of Britvic would offer Carlsberg the opportunity to expand its drinks bottling in Britain, for both alcoholic and refreshing beverages products. Interesting to see how all this plays out in the weeks and months ahead for both Carlsberg Group and Britvic plc and what potential wider impact this may have on the beverages industry, across both alcoholic and soft drinks categories. #carlsberg #Britvic #beer #softdrinks #alcohol Lars Jensen Jean-Philippe Delforge Paul Villis Carol Dunne Alison Wilkinson Thomas Hahlin Ahlinder John Savage Farrah Gilsenan Sheelagh Pentony Erlon Pereira Ian Chesworth Marc LEJEUNE Breda Kelly Francois Sonneville Stephen Rannekleiv Bourcard Nesin Jim Watson John Craven Bryan Roth Mark Gallo Erika Minaguchi Kristof König Linda Chatton Gilles Halotel Jerry O'Keeffe Wayne Donovan David Deeley Brian Short Gwyneth Kelly

Another week another sad article about more FMCG brands going into administration. One of the biggest challenges has always been that as you continue to grow the pressure on cash flow also grows especially if margin and profit are not growing at the same time. A lot of brands make the mistake of focusing on chasing revenue at the expense of profit. I have always been of the view that unless the extra revenue is adding to margin/profit then it's fruitless to chase that revenue. #fmcg #cpg https://lnkd.in/gxjyzEVA

Great perspective from Massey on distributor dynamics and supplier expectations. Big does not always mean better for certain brands, and understanding both yours and your wholesaler’s limitations based on budgets, coverage model, and portfolio is key. A true partnership is essential, but also a realistic perspective on what it costs to achieve results.
