Bacstrom Import Co. at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Bacstrom Import Co. isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Madagascar Vanilla Extract in Vanilla Extract.
Pacific Market stocks vanilla extract thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is vanilla extract: Pacific Market stocks only 9 there, so Bacstrom Import Co. Madagascar Vanilla Extract stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
