Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Chunk Foods isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Texas BBQ Pulled in Vegetarian Deli Meat Substitutes.
Pacific Market stocks vegetarian deli meat substitutes 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.
The more differentiated opening is vegetarian deli meat substitutes: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so Chunk Foods Texas BBQ Pulled stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 4 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

Chunk Foods’ SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
