Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Earthbound Farm is a prominent American producer of organic salads, fruits, and vegetables, founded in 1984 in Carmel Valley, California.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 5 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Organic Baby Spinach in Spinach.
Pacific Market stocks spinach 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 spinach: Pacific Market stocks only 4 there, so Earthbound Farm Organic Baby Spinach stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 14 of the 27 categories the brand sells.

Earthbound Farm’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 →
