Coca-cola at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 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.
United Markets 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.
United Markets carries cola in real depth, 45 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.
United Markets 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.
The full runway
Every category Coca-cola 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 11 of 45 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
How it prices
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 above the shelf.
What to bring to expand
Coca-cola’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
