Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Chocolove is a premium chocolate manufacturer known for its European-style confections, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 14 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Strong Dark Chocolate, Almonds & Sea Salt, 70% Cocoa in Chocolate Candies.

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 →
