Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Coca-Cola is a globally recognized soft drink brand, introduced in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 11 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Coca Cola Zero Sugar Soda Bottles in Cola.
Mill Valley Market stocks cola 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.
Mill Valley Market carries cola in real depth, 33 SKUs against a fleet median of 10, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 20/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Coca-cola plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Mill Valley Market. 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 11 of 45 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in cola. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Coca-cola (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
Coca-cola’s SKUs Mill Valley Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Mill Valley 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. Mill Valley Market profile →
