Reading the shelf…
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Aji Pepper Sauce offers a range of Peruvian-inspired sauces that highlight the distinct flavors of Aji Amarillo, Rocoto, and Aji Limo peppers.

Every category Aji plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Driver's Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
Aji’s SKUs Driver's Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
