Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Hot and Spicy Savory Snack Mix in Mixed Dry Snacks.
Fairfax Market stocks mixed dry snacks 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 mixed dry snacks: Fairfax Market stocks only 7 there, so Chex Mix Hot and Spicy Savory Snack Mix stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.

On shelf here, but only 3 of 8 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Where it would price in mixed dry snacks. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Chex Mix (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
Chex Mix’s SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
