Walmart’s Pepsi Power Move: What It Means for Us
So, Walmart was getting exclusive Pepsi deals that made your local corner store jealous—and the FTC says that’s not cool. Basically, Walmart scored secret discounts, while smaller shops paid full price, making it tough for them to compete. The drama? The FTC dropped the case for now, but the details just went public. For shoppers, this means the big guys might get you cheaper soda, but it could squeeze out your neighborhood grocer. Food for thought next time you grab a Pepsi! #Business #LocalBusiness #Walmart

I am pissed off
it's always been like this. if a store sells 2000 case's a week and a C store sells 10 of course they are gonna get a better price.

Pepsi and Coke do that at all stores. Volume brings their prices down . No secret .

After much conversation and me complaining I have finally found two cartons of RC Cola but only the cherry flavored one in North Texas. Guess the squeaky wheel really does get the grease.

Remember PharMor ? Mickie Monus did the same thing with all his vendors and Sam Walton was furious about it. And now Walmart does the same thing.

This is a common practice but not just for grocery store. Big companies and locations all get what are call volume discounts and marketing allowances. The more you sell the more you get paid back as a post purchase discount. This gets them around anti-trust laws.
