Cheetos at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Cheetos is a popular brand of cheese-flavored cornmeal snacks produced by Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks, Flamin' Hot Flavored in Cheese Crisps.
Pacific Market stocks cheese crisps 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 cheese crisps: Pacific Market stocks only 1 there, so Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks, Flamin' Hot Flavored stands out rather than blending in.

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 →
