BENTONVILLE, Ark., April 30, 2024 — As part of Walmart’s mission to make quality, great tasting food accessible for customers, the retailer announced today its latest private brand innovation, bettergoods: a new elevated experience that delivers quality, unique, chef-inspired food at an incredible value.
Bettergoods marks Walmart’s largest private brand food launch in 20 years and the fastest food private brand Walmart has brought to market, highlighting the speed with which Walmart can bring trend and innovation to market at scale.
“Today’s customers expect more from the private brands they purchase – they want affordable, quality products to elevate their overall food experience. The launch of bettergoods delivers on that customer need in a meaningful way,” said Scott Morris, senior vice president, private brands, food and consumables, Walmart. “Bettergoods is more than just a new private brand. It’s a commitment to our customers that they can enjoy unique culinary flavors at the incredible value Walmart delivers.”
Bettergoods joins Walmart’s impressive roster of innovative private brands that bring customers quality products at an amazing value, offering a brand-new, fresh take on the culinary experience with elevated taste, flavor and variety that’s approachable and – most importantly – affordable. Thoughtfully curated by Walmart’s experienced product development team that collaborated with suppliers across the globe to source quality, trend-forward ingredients and flavors, bettergoods brings exciting culinary concepts directly to customers at Walmart’s Every Day Low Prices.
