Reading the shelf…
World Market is a conventional independent running 4 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.
Boulder Canyon isn’t on World Market’s shelf yet in any of its 4 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Potato Chips, Kettle Style, Classic Sea Salt, Avocado Oil in Potato Chips.
World Market 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 17 other Bay Area grocers.
World Market merchandises 3 of the 5 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, vegetarian against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 53/100.

Every category Boulder Canyon plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at World Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
Where it would price in potato chips. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Boulder Canyon (orange) sits above the shelf.
Boulder Canyon’s SKUs World Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from World 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. World Market profile →
