California Sun Dry at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.

The more differentiated opening is sun dried tomatoes: United Markets stocks only 11 there, so California Sun Dry Julienne Cut Sun-Dried Tomatoes stands out rather than blending in.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
