Most store brands are made by contract manufacturers to the stores specifactions. It’s rare for a store to directly manufacture their own goods in the food industry. This is because a store only needs a given type of facility for a few days a month, making it uneconomical to operate it themselves.

"At the center of the move is the company’s $4.99 rotisserie chicken. In 2014, Costco reported selling 78 million of these processed, four-pound birds a year. In order to guarantee a steady supply and maintain the price, Costco fixed its eye on Nebraska as the best place to start raising and processing its own supply of chickens, and “break free of the monopoly” held by companies such as Tyson and Pilgrim’s Pride, much like it did for sausage and hotdogs with its Kirkland plant in Tracy, California."
