New Deal Private Label
Neither New Deal Supermarket chains have their own private label. New Deal Markets, owned by Johnson Grocery Inc, is a dealer for Supervalu and carries the Flavorite and Shoppers Value brand. Unlike many other franchised based grocer chains, such as Piggly Wiggly, IGA, or Supervalu, a New Deal franchised dealer is not obligated to buying product from any particular grocery wholesaler.
Early in New Deal Markets history, the chain sold the President's Choice brand under its affiliation with parent company Provigo. In 2000, no longer under its ownership by Provigo and now under the ownership of Modesto, California native Mike Strickler, the chain was supplied by Fleming and sold their Best Yet private label. By 2005, under Johnson Grocery, the chain then switched its supplier affiliation to AWG and their Best Choice and Always Save brand. Briefly, the chain distributed Food Club supplied by Topco, however, in 2010, due to limited Topco owned distribution centers and rising cost of freight transportation, supplier agreements were switched to SuperValu.

Famous quotes containing the words deal, private and/or label:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“... beauty, like ecstasy, has always been hostile to the commonplace. And the commonplace, under its popular label of the normal, has been the supreme authority for Homo sapiens since the days when he was probably arboreal.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
