“We deliver culinary expertise and program-level training through an optimized supply chain, serving supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, drug stores, and general stores of every kind.”

In fact, they provide many of those local store brands.

Now let’s get to work on Apple.

Link?

As I used to be in the restaurant Biz a long time ago…Sysco sells their brands.

Maybe they expanded…?

When you stop to think the services those grocery stores offer, butcher, deli, bakery etc. 2 percent profit margin is really good deal.

They’ve already installed a puppet president to dupe voters, so they can’t even claim “conspiracy theory” anymore.

Given a little time everything they claim to be “conspiracy theory” turns out to be true.

Finally some sense in this thread :blush:

Thank you…but it makes me wonder why Biden regime is wanting AG’s to go after grocery stores.

It looks like they are chiefly restaurant wholesalers, I can’t find a breakout. Most bulk wholesalers of produce in Texas seem to be privately owned.

We are kind of moving away from the blaming of grocery stores that is the basis of the thread.

Most grocery stores have local or store brands to compete with the big brands…which people tend to buy in spite of the lower cost item.

Pretty much. They just don’t care. They are, after all, that selfish and arrogant, that they just don’t give a ■■■■■

Textbook progressivism. When policy fails, gaslight and blame somebody else.

Remember, Biden pulled a task force out of his ass a few months ago to study this and what laws they can use against suppliers etc. A few AG’s are already going after companies due to profits. They know people are pissed over grocery inflation and this is their solution. Blame the corporations and hope the low fo’s and ignorant buy into it. Get the AG’s on their side and ta da!!

I been looking at individual food companies. Their profit margin hasn’t change much over the years.

So IMO…they can’t blame anyone but themselves for inflationary prices of food.

With that volume business comes volume costs. When margins are thin, profits can quickly flip to losses with just a tweak of a sliver of those costs. Volumes of losses. And government meddling can become the sliver that creates the flip.

Yea the proposal is stupid if for no other reason that there is no food price emergency.

156

I wasn’t addressing the stupidity of the proposal (which, I agree, is stupid). I was addressing your attempt to diminish a 2% profit margin because with volume it still creates a number with a lot of zeros. Volume doesn’t change the margin, and it’s the margin that’s easily toppled.

Irrelevant. 2% is low.
