Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Marinated Artichoke Hearts in Canned Artichokes.
Pacific Market stocks canned artichokes 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.
The more differentiated opening is canned artichokes: Pacific Market stocks only 6 there, so Cara Mia Marinated Artichoke Hearts stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific Market’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. Pacific Market profile →
