Short answer
Private label, or store brand, refers to products made for and sold under a retailer's own brand, such as Kirkland Signature at Costco or Great Value at Walmart. These products usually compete with national brands on price while giving retailers higher margins and more control over sourcing, packaging, and shelf placement.
