Abe's at Target
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Abe's is a brand specializing in vegan and allergy-friendly baked goods, offering a variety of muffins, cupcakes, brownies, and cakes.
Abe's isn’t on Target’s shelf yet in any of its 6 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
