Dole at Woodlands
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.
Dole is a renowned brand specializing in fresh fruits and fruit-based products, including packaged fruit snacks and a variety of juices.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 7 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Pineapple Chunks in Canned Pineapple.
Woodlands stocks canned pineapple 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 pineapple: Woodlands stocks only 4 there, so Dole Pineapple Chunks stands out rather than blending in.
Woodlands merchandises 14 of the 21 categories the brand sells.
