Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Best Foods is a renowned brand specializing in condiments, particularly mayonnaise, dressings, and spreads.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Light Mayonnaise Squeeze in Mayonnaise.
Mill Valley Market stocks mayonnaise thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
