Reading the shelf…
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.
Bath & Body Works isn’t on Woodlands’ shelf yet in any of its 3 stores. the categories it plays in are thin here, so it is a harder sell.
Woodlands merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.
Every category Bath & Body Works plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Woodlands. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
Where it would price in body oil. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Bath & Body Works (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Bath & Body Works’ SKUs Woodlands doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →
