Carnation Breakfast Essentials 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 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Complete Nutritional Drink, Rich Milk Chocolate in Powdered Drink Mix.
United Markets stocks powdered drink mix 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.
The more differentiated opening is powdered drink mix: United Markets stocks only 9 there, so Carnation Breakfast Essentials Complete Nutritional Drink, Rich Milk Chocolate stands out rather than blending in.
United Markets merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
