Bob Evans Farms at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with 100% Liquid Egg Whites in Liquid Eggs.
United Markets stocks liquid eggs 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.
United Markets carries other bakery desserts in real depth, 13 SKUs against a fleet median of 6, 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 liquid eggs: United Markets stocks only 3 there, so Bob Evans Farms 100% Liquid Egg Whites stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the liquid eggs, and position the other bakery desserts as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 4 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.

enters a thin liquid eggs shelf as a point of difference.
The full runway
Every category Bob Evans Farms plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. 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 2 of 4 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
