De Cecco 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.
De Cecco is a prestigious Italian brand established in 1886, known for its high-quality pasta and related food products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 21 SKUs across 15 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 10 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Farfalle, No. 93 in Farfalle Pasta.
Woodlands stocks farfalle pasta 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.
The more differentiated opening is farfalle pasta: Woodlands stocks only 1 there, so De Cecco Farfalle, No. 93 stands out rather than blending in.
Woodlands merchandises 20 of the 25 categories the brand sells.
