re: Why your prices have gone up… an anecdote

Please tell us what real world experience you have in these pricing discussions to validate your theory.

Chain of Shell stations owned by the local Shell distributor, on top of selling everyone else with Shell stations fuel owns probably 15 or 20 other stores with cafes. Plenty of buying power- 3 tender meal, a 20oz coke, and wedges goes from roughly $8 to just hair under $20 before local tax set in. There’s no damn reason for that much of an increase other than some gouging.

Also am really good friends with the guy whose family owned and started Krispy Krunchy Foods. He said unless the new owners are completely jacking up prices to the distributors that there’s no way they some places he’s seen should be selling KKF as expensive as they are even with inflation.

Take that for what it’s worth.


A lot of similar things have been happening in the world of ag chemicals too.
