Reading the shelf…
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
California Olive Ranch is a brand specializing in high-quality extra virgin olive oils, known for their rich flavor and versatility in cooking.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 16 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.

Berkeley Bowl carries olive oils in real depth, 152 SKUs against a fleet median of 31, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
