Charles Chocolates at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Charles Chocolates is an artisan confectionery brand known for its handcrafted, all-natural chocolates.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Sf Caramelized Cocoa Nib Bar in Chocolate Candies.
Woodlands stocks chocolate candies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
