Haddar is definitely NOT Kedem brand. The two owners despise each other.
Haddar was bought by Kedem

After pesach Bingo stopped his practice of giving stuff at less then his wholesale price, he is now going to sell at least for cost or minimum markup

But he should at least be a few cents cheaper then other groceries.

Are you saying this from knowledge or did you simply fall for their motto?
Which part?

That's what I heard. + This seems to be the only reason that can make sense, why he's not even a few cents cheaper then my local grocery?

Hadar has been kedem for quite some time already. Until last year kedem had a monopoly on retail kosher grape juice. All brands are either owned by them (IE: Hadar) , copacked by them or they sold concentrate ( IE: natures own). Last year Welch's/Manishewitz began their own line and this year Natures own began purchasing concentrate from someone else.

But no chance that the FTC gets involved from an antitrust perspective, as the kosher market is just a small segment. There a plenty of wine companies out there, etc. etc. etc. The fact that the Herzog clan controls the kosher wine market (and through other subsidiaries such as Medek, etc. try to control other markets) probably doesn't reach the FTC antitrust radar screen.

I recall when Kedem first branched off into Haddar's territory (IIRC it was the Geffen brand that they started with). The owner of Haddar at the time got so upset, he tried to go into the wine business in retaliation (and IIRC he claimed that only his mevushal wine is mevushal according to all shittos, while Kedem wines are mevushal by pasteurization which some opinions don't accept). Well, we all know how that ended. I doubt anyone even remembers what brand name he used (I don't).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

IIRC it was the other way around that Hadar stated with grape juice and then they opened Gefen. The Hadar wines were called Hadar.

At the time I was working for relatives of the owner of Haddar, and occasionally did some work for the owner of Haddar, so I report the story as I heard it back then from the owner.

+1
Gefen didn't want a competition in the grape juice/wine market, so they threatened haddar, that if you make grape juice, we'll make products, & that was when Gefen was born.

Shame that kedem won the fight, & they stayed with the Monopoly.

1. It's illegal. 2. This is Bingo101, they're unbeatable in the beginning and then gradually become cheap on some items and normal price on other items.

Of course they are claiming pressure. That pressure can consist of not giving a lower price.

Every new brand of wine coming in to the USA, kedem is there. They saw that Or Hagunoz wine is good going, so they bought off the importing/distribution of the USA, as not to leave any space for a competitor....

What's illegal?
All wholesale clubs are illegal?

Please explain?
Even if they don't get a lower price then other groceries, they should sell for example few cents cheaper, as they are here for quantity...
