Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Diestel Family Ranch is a family-owned turkey producer based in Sonora, California, established in 1949.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
