Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Dietz & Watson is a family-owned brand specializing in premium deli meats, cheeses, and sausages.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 8 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 5 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Buffalo Style Chicken Breast, Pre-Sliced in Deli Chicken.
Fairfax Market stocks deli chicken 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 deli chicken: Fairfax Market stocks only 2 there, so Dietz & Watson Buffalo Style Chicken Breast, Pre-Sliced stands out rather than blending in.
