Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Dr. Bronner's is a family-owned company known for its organic and fair-trade personal care products, especially its Pure-Castile soaps.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Coconut Oil, Organic Virgin in Coconut Oil.
Pacific Market stocks coconut oil 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 coconut oil: Pacific Market stocks only 7 there, so Dr. Bronner's Coconut Oil, Organic Virgin stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 2 of the 12 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic, vegan against the store's assortment lean.

Every category Dr. Bronner's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.

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