Bowlcut at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Bowlcut offers a diverse range of sauces that blend bold flavors with convenience, catering to those who appreciate a touch of heat and umami in their meals.
Bowlcut isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Classic Stir Fry Sauce (marinade/grill) in Stir Fry Sauce.
Pacific Market stocks stir fry sauce 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.
Pacific Market carries barbecue sauces in real depth, 45 SKUs against a fleet median of 14, 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 stir fry sauce: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so Bowlcut Classic Stir Fry Sauce (marinade/grill) stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the stir fry sauce, and position the barbecue sauces as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 4 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

The full runway · across 2 stores
Every category Bowlcut plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific 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.

What to bring to land
Bowlcut’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
