Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Blue Monkey isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Pure Coconut Water in Coconut Water.
Pacific Market stocks coconut water 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.
Pacific Market carries fruit juice & blends in real depth, 104 SKUs against a fleet median of 39, 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 coconut water: Pacific Market stocks only 7 there, so Blue Monkey Pure Coconut Water stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the coconut water, and position the fruit juice & blends as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

enters a thin coconut water shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Blue Monkey plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
