Opportunities
New doors · no A&w in our capture yet
Bay Area grocers where neither the digital catalog nor our shelf photos show A&w· but the shelf it belongs on is already there, ranked by fit. Fit blends category coverage, rival presence, price-band match, and openness to independents at this scale; weigh the footprint chips and route notes against it · a 7-door chain and a single great shop are different prizes. Our capture is partial, so a widely-distributed brand may already be carried through channels we don’t index.
Lead with A&W Root Beer · its most-distributed SKU (6 doors) in Root Beer, the biggest opening. The closest open door is Rainbow Grocery Cooperative · 3 rivals already on that shelf.
