Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Deep Indian Kitchen offers a range of frozen Indian meals that are crafted from family recipes and made from scratch.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Kati Street Wrap, Potato & Pea Samosa, Medium Spice in Frozen Samosas.
Pacific Market stocks frozen samosas thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market carries frozen pizzas in real depth, 43 SKUs against a fleet median of 20.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is frozen samosas: Pacific Market stocks only 2 there, so Deep Indian Kitchen Kati Street Wrap, Potato & Pea Samosa, Medium Spice stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the frozen samosas, and position the frozen pizzas as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 6 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

Deep Indian Kitchen’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
