Reading the shelf…
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Chosen Foods is a brand that specializes in avocado oil and avocado oil-based products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 20 SKUs across 9 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.

Sprouts Farmers Market stocks avocado oil thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is avocado oil: Sprouts Farmers Market stocks only 12 there, so Chosen Foods Pure Avocado Cooking Oil stands out rather than blending in.
Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 11 of the 11 categories the brand sells.
