Coca-cola at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 6 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Cola in Cola.
Woodlands stocks cola thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 10 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is cola: Woodlands stocks only 10 there, so Coca-Cola Cola stands out rather than blending in.
Woodlands merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.

On shelf here, but only 6 of 45 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
