Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
Lead with Pepperoni Pizza in Frozen Pizzas.
Fairfax Market stocks frozen pizzas 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.
Fairfax Market carries frozen pizzas in real depth, 47 SKUs against a fleet median of 20.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Fairfax Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, vegan, vegetarian against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 70/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Blackbird Foods plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax Market. 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 1 of 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in frozen pizzas. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Blackbird Foods (orange) sits above the shelf.
Blackbird Foods’ SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
