Driscoll's at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Driscoll's is a renowned brand specializing in the production of high-quality berries, including strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Blackberries, 12 oz in Blackberries.
Berkeley Bowl stocks blackberries 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.
Berkeley Bowl carries blueberries in real depth, 12 SKUs against a fleet median of 3.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is blackberries: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 5 there, so Blackberries, 12 oz stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the blackberries, and position the blueberries as a finishing or gift item.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 4 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
