Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW) investors will be keeping an eye on the disagreement with Arnott’s according to the Australian Financial Review.
The dispute is about prices and off-shelf promotions such as at the end of the aisles. As you might expect, Arnott’s doesn’t want to pay more, so Woolworths has taken down the displays and now apparently there’s no Arnott’s promotions at all.
Arnott’s staff are apparently having to stock the shelves at some Woolworths supermarkets.
