Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Abstinence Spirits offers a range of non-alcoholic alternatives that bring the essence of traditional spirits to those seeking mindful drinking options.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
