Claussen at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Claussen is a brand known for its refrigerated pickles and sauerkraut, offering a variety of kosher dill pickles in different cuts and sizes.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Hearty Garlic Deli-Style Pickle Wholes in Pickles.
United Markets stocks pickles 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 pickles in real depth, 52 SKUs against a fleet median of 15.5, 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 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category Claussen plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 5 of 8 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

What to bring to expand

Already on the shelf
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 →
