Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Chobani is an American food company founded in 2005, known for its Greek-style yogurt and commitment to using natural ingredients without artificial additives.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 38 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
Lead with Original Oatmilk in Oat Milk.
United Markets stocks oat milk 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.
United Markets carries traditional yogurt in real depth, 146 SKUs against a fleet median of 48, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
United Markets merchandises 6 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

Chobani’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →

The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
