On this week’s episode of Shopping for Stocks, host and Zacks Editor Maddy Johnson discussed the retail strategy of private-label brands, and the companies who utilize them.
Walmart-owned (WMT - Free Report) Jet.com just unveiled a new grocery line called Uniquely J that will carry things like coffee, olive oil, laundry detergent, and paper towels. For years now, Walmart has sold through its own private labels Equate, Great Value, and Sam’s Choice, but Uniquely J could help America’s largest retailer reach a different, younger audience.
Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) , of course, has many private-label brands, like its AmazonBasics and Amazon Elements lines that are popular for their wide array of everyday essentials. And now that the e-commerce giant has bought Whole Foods, Amazon sells the organic grocer’s popular 365 brand on its website.
Costco (COST - Free Report) , Target (TGT - Free Report) , and German discount grocery chain Aldi have been making headway with customers thanks to their private labels, and some of them are even award-winning.
But private-labels and in-house brands are nothing new, and are a much-used strategy throughout the retail industry. However, it’s when companies reformat it, reenergize it, that we start paying attention. If these retailers can create and market private-label brands that connect with shoppers in new and exciting ways, the oft-used tactic could be the direction retail needs to go.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
