Alter Eco at Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 11 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Dark Sea Salt Organic Chocolate in Chocolate Candies.

Presence and depth are measured from Sprouts Farmers 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. Sprouts Farmers Market profile →
