The price of going to the movies keeps soaring, but AMC Theaters has found one way to keep prices down: GENERIC CANDY. Â
Â
The CEO of AMC says that the prices THEY are being charged for wholesale candy have gotten out of control since the pandemic . . . so they came up with a plan to "manufacture their own private-label brand of popular candies."
Â
The idea is that they could make their own stuff and charge LESS money for it and still have a higher profit margin than carrying name-brand sweets. They didn't say which candies they'd be mimicking.
Â
AMC says their candies will start showing up at concession stands as early as THIS FALL. They WILL still carry some of the name-brand stuff, for anyone who's willing to pay more to get it.Â
