Chuao Chocolatier at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Ravishing Rocky Road, Milk Chocolate Bar in Chocolate Candies.
Woodlands stocks chocolate candies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.

On shelf here, but only 12 of 26 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
