Penny Phases Out Eponymous Label to Relabel 400 Products under Sub-Brands

Penny is reallocating its 400 legacy products into established labels over several months to improve product navigation with unchanged prices.

Overview

  • After 13 years, Penny will retire its namesake private label in Germany and transfer roughly 400 items into existing sub-brands such as Bäckerkrönung, San Fabio and Lindenhof.
  • The transition will unfold over several months, using up existing packaging to minimise waste before the final Penny-branded products disappear.
  • Despite removing the base brand, Penny’s logo will remain on packaging as the official product sender.
  • Executives say the overhaul responds to evolving customer demands and heightened competition by simplifying the assortment.
  • Penny has assured customers that no price increases will result from the rebranding and that low-cost private-label offerings will continue.
