Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Askinosie Chocolate specializes in crafting single-origin chocolate bars with a focus on direct trade cocoa beans sourced from regions like the Philippines, Ecuador, and Tanzania.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 23 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen.
