Example. They find one thing that people like that may be offered in 5 flavors. They pick the 1 or 2 best flavors, make an exclusive agreement with that company, buy the whole lot for a discounted price, and sell that product at a price much lower than the competition.

What's so great about Traitor Joe's?
It's a difficult store to describe unless you've actually been in one. I'm a nerd when it comes to grocery stores, so I tend to stop in whenever I'm in a city that has one.
They usually have small beer selection, but it tends to be brands and styles I've not seen elsewhere. They usually have a decent wine selection and lots of selection at very low prices (Two Buck chuck for instance)
I've also bought a nice selection of affordable coffees that are under their own label. I think I spent $8 a lb for peaberry coffee
They have a good selection of dried fruits and snacks. My wife and I munched on candied hibiscus flowers while driving around Nevada. I've also scored 1 lb bags of almond meal for $4. (great for making fillings for sticky buns and almond filled king cakes)
It's not the type of place you do all your shopping. The stores are probably the footprint of a walgreens.

They sell drinkable bottles of red wine for $2. They have a lot of specialty items and an excellent selection of pre-prepared meals/sides that are generally inexpensive.
For example, I used to buy packages of brown rice that just needed to microwave and pouches of Indian curries and sauces when I lived in DC. It was perfect for people who like to eat well/diverse things, don't have time to cook, and not spend a lot of money.
