Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Bonne Maman is a French brand celebrated for its traditional, homemade-style jams, marmalades, and desserts.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 15 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Guava Preserves in Fruit Preserves.
Woodlands stocks fruit preserves thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
Woodlands merchandises 8 of the 10 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →
