Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Betty Crocker is a well-established brand known for its wide range of baking products, including baking mixes and frostings.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
Lead with Cookie Mix with Milk Chocolate M&M'S Chocolate Candies in Cookie Mixes.
Target stocks cookie mixes 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.
The more differentiated opening is cookie mixes: Target stocks only 3 there, so Betty Crocker Cookie Mix with Milk Chocolate M&M'S Chocolate Candies stands out rather than blending in.
Target merchandises 7 of the 12 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.
enters a thin cookie mixes shelf as a point of difference.

Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →
