Reading the shelf…
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Ancient Harvest is a pioneering brand in the development and marketing of gluten-free pasta alternatives and quinoa products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
Lead with Polenta Basil & Garlic in Polenta.
Driver's Market stocks polenta thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 6 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is polenta: Driver's Market stocks only 4 there, so Ancient Harvest Polenta Basil & Garlic stands out rather than blending in.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Ancient Harvest’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 →
