Reading the shelf…
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.
Divina is a gourmet brand that specializes in Mediterranean-inspired food products, particularly olives, antipasti, and spreads.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 12 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Organic Roasted Red Peppers in Canned Roasted Red Peppers.
Woodlands stocks canned roasted red peppers thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is canned roasted red peppers: Woodlands stocks only 3 there, so Divina Organic Roasted Red Peppers stands out rather than blending in.
Woodlands merchandises 17 of the 25 categories the brand sells.

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