Walgreens, A&P, Sears, JCPenney, Kroger, Safeway, Radio Shack. The names read like a who’s who of American retail. Along with their contemporaries, they were entrepreneurs and innovators who created the template for today’s Private Brand. They created brands that stretched well beyond the confines of grocery to include virtually every retail channel and category. The brands that their teams created - are the Vanguard of branding in America.
