9lives at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Hearty Cuts With Real Chicken & Fish In Gravy Wet Cat Food in Wet Cat Food.
Fairfax Market stocks wet cat food 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.
Fairfax Market carries wet cat food in real depth, 80 SKUs against a fleet median of 21, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Fairfax Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 30/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
The full runway
Every category 9lives plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 3 of 4 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax Market’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. Fairfax Market profile →
