Act Ii at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Butter Lovers Microwave Popcorn in Popcorn.
United Markets stocks popcorn 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.
United Markets carries popcorn in real depth, 58 SKUs against a fleet median of 26, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
United Markets merchandises 1 of the 1 category 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 Act Ii plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. 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 5 of 7 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
How it prices
Where it would price in popcorn. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Act Ii (orange) sits below the shelf.
What to bring to expand
Act Ii’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
