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.
Beckmann's Old World Bakery is a distinguished bakery known for its traditional European-style baked goods, founded in 1985 by Peter Beckmann in Santa Cruz, California.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
