D.s.d. Merchandisers Inc. at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
D.s.d. Merchandisers Inc. isn’t on United Markets’ shelf yet. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with California Thompson Raisins in Dried Raisins.
United Markets stocks dried raisins thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries dried raisins in real depth, 14 SKUs against a fleet median of 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 1 of the 1 category 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 D.s.d. Merchandisers Inc. 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.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
How it prices
Where it would price in dried raisins. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). D.s.d. Merchandisers Inc. (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
What to bring to land
D.s.d. Merchandisers Inc.’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
