Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Wild Caught Sardines in Water in Canned Sardines.
Pacific Market stocks canned sardines thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is canned sardines: Pacific Market stocks only 7 there, so Chicken of the Sea Wild Caught Sardines in Water stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 6 of the 6 categories the brand sells.

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 →
