Major grocery chain to stop selling top-brand products to deter theft
(SLAY NEWS) – A major grocery store chain has announced that it will stop selling products from top brands in an effort to deter thefts. The chain, Giant Foods, which serves Washington, D.C. and surrounding states including Maryland and Virginia, will reportedly soon clear its beauty and health aisles of all national labels.
According to The Washington Post, Giant Foods says it will no longer stock such brands as Tide, Colgate, or Advil – just store brands.
Shoppers will now also have to show their receipts to an employee before exiting the store. “We have no other choice,” Diane Hicks, senior vice president of operations, said last week.
