Alexia at Safeway
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Alexia is a food brand known for its high-quality frozen foods, particularly in the categories of vegetables and snacks.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 13 stores.
