Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Catalina Crunch is a brand specializing in low-sugar, high-protein snacks and cereals.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
Lead with Granola, Protein, Vanilla Almond in Granola.
