Reading the shelf…
Whole Foods Market is a natural independent running 10 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 30,160 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Dave's Killer Bread is an American brand known for its organic whole-grain baked goods, founded in 2005 in Milwaukie, Oregon.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 14 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 10 stores.
Lead with Plain Awesome Bagels, Organic Bagels, 15g Whole Grains per Bagel, 5 Count in Sourdough Bread.
Whole Foods Market stocks sourdough bread thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Whole Foods Market merchandises 4 of the 14 categories the brand sells.

Every category Dave's Killer Bread plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Whole Foods 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 10 of 11 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Dave's Killer Bread’s SKUs Whole Foods Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Whole Foods 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. Whole Foods Market profile →
