Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Birch Benders is a food brand specializing in pancake and waffle mixes, as well as frozen breakfast items.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Ube Mochi Pancake & Waffle Mix, 14 Oz Pouch in Pancake & Waffle Mix.
