Bubbies at Target
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Bubbies is a brand known for its delicious fermented and pickled foods, as well as unique frozen desserts.
Bubbies isn’t on Target’s shelf yet in any of its 6 stores. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.

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