Same reason why east coast people call it pop and west coast people call it soda. Dreyer's and Edy's is the same company.

There. It's midwest - and the only west coast is CA because my friend from Oregon calls it pop.

I think this is more like Safeway vs. Vons and Albertsons vs. Ralphs and Carls Jr. vs. Hardees.

Krogers and Frys is not an example. I don't knwo what that poster meant..

Fry's Marketplace... yes and no... same owner, different looks. Along with about 15 other companies that are all a part of a partnership/parent company.

Same ownership, different name.


The deal here is that along the road, one company has probably bought the other one, and over time their product lines were just merged to get the best of both of the originals.

It's a CONSPIRACY to confuse the masses!!!!!!


Probably just 2 corps that were established in different regions that combined in some fashion and adopted the same product lines. Rather than lose the reputation(s) of the former stores, they kept the oiginal names.

But that makes way too much sense for an ATOT thread.

 

[chuckywang]

They wanted to continue the existing familiar brand name.
