Not in my experience. Except for very well known brands like Coca Cola and Mars, the store-brand products are always front and center in all shelves, and all in-store marketing (flyers, catalogs, promotions) is for the store branded products. This is for Carrefour, Franprix and Monoprix, not sure how it is in the US.
- bagacrap 6y agoTarget creates knock offs (Up+Up brand) for almost all the household products they sell. They're placed directly next to the item from the known brand, such as Neutrogena. I would say if anything, the known brand item is more front and center, but it's impossible to ignore the adjacent facsimile that's 2/3 the price.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoFYI, “knock offs” has the same meaning as counterfeit. Target sells “generics” under their Up+Up brands.

- lotsofpulp 6y agoI’ve never seen it used in a context other than trying to pass an item off as something else. I would be surprised to hear someone refer to a generic version of something as a knockoff.
