Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Clover Farms is a privately owned dairy company based in Reading, Pennsylvania, established in 1937.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 8 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Single-Serve Pat Butter in Salted Butter.
United Markets stocks salted butter 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 merchandises 9 of the 10 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

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 →
