Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Bragg is a well-established brand known for its commitment to natural wellness, offering products like apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and nutritional supplements.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 7 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
