Reading the shelf…
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Daiya Foods Inc. is a Canadian company that specializes in plant-based dairy alternatives, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
Lead with Dairy Free Mexican Blend Cheese Shreds in Cheese Alternatives.
Community Market CA stocks cheese alternatives 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.
Community Market CA carries cheese alternatives in real depth, 30 SKUs against a fleet median of 13, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Community Market CA merchandises 8 of the 11 categories the brand sells.

an established national brand with proven demand.

Presence and depth are measured from Community Market CA’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. Community Market CA profile →
