Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Alter Eco is a food company dedicated to organic, fair trade, and sustainable products, with a primary focus on chocolate.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter.

Driver's Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
