Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Bellwether Farms is a family-owned creamery based in Petaluma, California, specializing in artisanal dairy products made from sheep's and cow's milk.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 11 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Organic Blackberry Yogurt in Traditional Yogurt.
Pacific Market stocks traditional yogurt thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Pacific Market carries traditional yogurt in real depth, 103 SKUs against a fleet median of 48, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
grass-fed, non-gmo, organic against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 60/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Bellwether Farms plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific 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 10 of 13 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in traditional yogurt. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Bellwether Farms (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Bellwether Farms’ SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
