Del Real at Safeway
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Del Real is a grocery brand specializing in dried fruits and desserts, with a focus on organic products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 13 stores.
Lead with Carnitas in Other Prepared Pork.
Safeway stocks other prepared pork 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.
The more differentiated opening is other prepared pork: Safeway stocks only 1 there, so Del Real Carnitas stands out rather than blending in.
Safeway merchandises 6 of the 9 categories the brand sells.

The full runway · across 13 stores
Every category Del Real plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Safeway. 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 1 of 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Safeway’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. Safeway profile →
