Arroyo Seco at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Pecan Pieces in Pecans.

Woodlands merchandises 5 of the 5 categories the brand sells.
