Interesting I was reading on the weekend that icon brand Dairy Bell ice cream was closing down largely because penalty rates in it’s stores made it unviable.
The main reason, as seen on their website is Supermarket Ice Cream wars have cost the retailer profit and the manufacturer loss of margin and have reduced our capacity to recover costs for some 4 years now with our capital being eroded year by year.
Yes, they also tried their own stores, but it is wrong to blame labour costs when, once again, it is the Colesworth duopoly and the weak governments that have caused this demise.
It is well beyond time that Colesworth were broken up.
