Beehive Cheese Co. at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Beehive Cheese Co. isn’t on United Markets’ shelf yet. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Barely Buzzed Cheddar Cheese in Other Cheese.
United Markets 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.
United Markets merchandises 1 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.

The full runway
Every category Beehive Cheese Co. plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
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.
How it prices
Where it would price in other cheese. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Beehive Cheese Co. (orange) sits above the shelf.
What to bring to land
Beehive Cheese Co.’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
