Baba Small Batch at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Baba Small Batch is a brand specializing in Mediterranean-inspired dips, spreads, and snacks, crafted with a focus on quality and simplicity.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Organic Hummus - Zesty Lemon in Hummus.
Berkeley Bowl stocks hummus 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.
Berkeley Bowl carries hummus in real depth, 64 SKUs against a fleet median of 18, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Berkeley Bowl’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. Berkeley Bowl profile →
