I am going to say yes.

Places like Home Depot occasionally get flats of cheap water brought in, but it isn't like most other stores, since they don't own the stock they have. It is more like Costco, where the merchandise is essentially on consignment, so they have almost no control over prices at the store level.

I could be wrong, but that's my understanding.
