Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Cascadian Farm is an American brand that specializes in organic food products, founded in 1972 in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 25 SKUs across 14 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 6 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Organic Crinkle Cut French Fries Frozen Potatoes in Frozen Fries.
Pacific Market stocks frozen fries 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 frozen fries: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so Cascadian Farm Organic Crinkle Cut French Fries Frozen Potatoes stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 19 of the 22 categories 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 →
