Bella at Woodlands
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.
Bella Sun Luci is a brand known for its Mediterranean-inspired grocery products, including sun-dried tomatoes and a variety of olive oil-based vinaigrettes.
Bella isn’t on Woodlands’ shelf yet in any of its 3 stores. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
