Beecher's Handmade Cheese at Driver's Market
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Beecher's Handmade Cheese is an artisan cheesemaker known for its high-quality cheeses and prepared meals, founded in 2003 by Kurt Beecher Dammeier.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Flagship Cheese in Other Cheese.
Driver's Market stocks other cheese thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is other cheese: Driver's Market stocks only 4 there, so Beecher's Handmade Cheese Flagship Cheese stands out rather than blending in.
Driver's Market merchandises 6 of the 8 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category Beecher's Handmade Cheese plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Driver's Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 4 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
What to bring to expand
Beecher's Handmade Cheese’s SKUs Driver's Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
