Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
Lead with Basil & Chive Gourmet Cheese in Cheese Dips And Spreads.
Fairfax Market stocks cheese dips and spreads 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.
The more differentiated opening is cheese dips and spreads: Fairfax Market stocks only 9 there, so Boursin Basil & Chive Gourmet Cheese stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 60/100.
enters a thin cheese dips and spreads shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Boursin plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax Market. 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 5 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in cheese dips and spreads. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Boursin (orange) sits well above the shelf.

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