Reading the shelf…
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Arrowhead Mills is a well-established American brand specializing in organic grain-based foods.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
Lead with Organic Buttermilk Pancake Mix and Waffle Mix, 22 Oz Bag in Pancake & Waffle Mix.
Community Market CA stocks pancake & waffle mix thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is pancake & waffle mix: Community Market CA stocks only 7 there, so Arrowhead Mills Organic Buttermilk Pancake Mix and Waffle Mix, 22 Oz Bag stands out rather than blending in.
Community Market CA merchandises 12 of the 12 categories the brand sells.
