Best Foods at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 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.
Lead with Light Mayonnaise Squeeze in Mayonnaise.
United Markets 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.
United Markets carries mayonnaise in real depth, 35 SKUs against a fleet median of 15, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 30/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
The full runway
Every category Best Foods 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.
On shelf here, but only 10 of 17 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
How it prices

What to bring to expand
Best Foods’ SKUs United Markets 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 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 →
