1836 at Target
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
1836 isn’t on Target’s shelf yet in any of its 6 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Organic Chocolate Whole Milk, 64 fl oz, 2-count in Chocolate Milk.
Target stocks chocolate milk thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is chocolate milk: Target stocks only 4 there, so 1836 Organic Chocolate Whole Milk, 64 fl oz, 2-count stands out rather than blending in.
Target merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 20/100.
enters a thin chocolate milk shelf as a point of difference.
The full runway · across 6 stores
Every category 1836 plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Target. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
What to bring to land
1836’s SKUs Target doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Target’s current Bay Area storefront: its online catalog plus our shelf photos, a partial view. A widely-distributed brand shown as a new door may already be carried through channels we don’t index. Target profile →
