Penny Phases Out Its Namesake Label in Major Brand Overhaul

The Rewe Group discounter is reallocating more than 400 products under established sub-brands with prices remaining unchanged.

Overview

  • Penny will retire its eponymous private label across all stores after 13 years, affecting over 400 products.
  • Discontinued items will be rebranded under existing labels such as San Fabio, Bäckerkrönung and Lindenhof, with a small Penny logo retained as the manufacturer.
  • The gradual phase-out began this week using current packaging to avoid waste and will roll out at different paces across regions.
  • Penny insists that the rebranding process will not lead to any price hikes.
  • The move seeks to simplify a previously complex assortment and align with changing shopper demands as competition intensifies in the German discount market.
