Reading the shelf…
World Market is a conventional independent running 4 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 4 stores.
Lead with Baby White Extra Small & Tender Popcorn Bottle in Popcorn.
World Market 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.
The more differentiated opening is popcorn: World Market stocks only 10 there, so Amish Country Baby White Extra Small & Tender Popcorn Bottle stands out rather than blending in.
World Market merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 14 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

Presence and depth are measured from World 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. World Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
