Boulder Canyon at Target
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Boulder Canyon is a snack brand known for its kettle-cooked potato chips and healthier snack options, founded in 1994 in Boulder, Colorado.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
Lead with Thin & Crispy Cheddar Sour Cream Potato Chips in Potato Chips.
Target stocks potato chips thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 10 other Bay Area grocers.
Target carries potato chips in real depth, 141 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Target merchandises 4 of the 5 categories the brand sells.

The full runway · across 6 stores
Every category Boulder Canyon plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Target. 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 7 of 40 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

What to bring to expand
Boulder Canyon’s SKUs Target doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →
