Bhu Foods at Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Protein Bites, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in Cookie Doughs.
Sprouts Farmers Market stocks cookie doughs thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
Sprouts Farmers Market carries protein bars in real depth, 228 SKUs against a fleet median of 47, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is cookie doughs: Sprouts Farmers Market stocks only 5 there, so Bhu Foods Protein Bites, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the cookie doughs, and position the protein bars as a finishing or gift item.
Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 6 of the 6 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Sprouts Farmers 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. Sprouts Farmers Market profile →
