Cedar's Mediterranean Foods at Mill Valley Market
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Cedar's Mediterranean Foods isn’t on Mill Valley Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 5 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Olive Gluten-Free Mediterranean Breadsticks in Dried Breadsticks.
Mill Valley Market stocks dried breadsticks 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.
Mill Valley Market carries crackers in real depth, 179 SKUs against a fleet median of 85, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is dried breadsticks: Mill Valley Market stocks only 7 there, so Cedar's Mediterranean Foods Olive Gluten-Free Mediterranean Breadsticks stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the dried breadsticks, and position the crackers as a finishing or gift item.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 5 of the 5 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Mill Valley 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. Mill Valley Market profile →
