Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
BRIANNAS Fine Salad Dressings is a premium brand known for its gourmet salad dressings, marinades, and croutons.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 29 SKUs across 10 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 5 categories to widen.
Lead with Avocado Oil Caesar Dressing in Caesar Dressing.
United Markets stocks caesar dressing thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries vinaigrette dressing in real depth, 33 SKUs against a fleet median of 11, 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 caesar dressing: United Markets stocks only 14 there, so BRIANNAS Avocado Oil Caesar Dressing stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the caesar dressing, and position the vinaigrette dressing as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 11 of the 11 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
