Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Beaver Brand is a well-known producer of condiments, specializing in mustards, horseradish, and various sauces.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific Market’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. Pacific Market profile →
