Reading the shelf…
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Burke Candy isn’t on Safeway’s shelf yet in any of its 13 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in Chocolate Candies.
Safeway stocks chocolate candies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Safeway merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.

Where it would price in chocolate candies. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which).
Burke Candy’s SKUs Safeway doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Safeway’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. Safeway profile →
