Reading the shelf…
Whole Foods Market is a natural independent running 10 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 30,160 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Earthbound Farm is a prominent American producer of organic salads, fruits, and vegetables, founded in 1984 in Carmel Valley, California.
Earthbound Farm isn’t on Whole Foods Market’s shelf yet in any of its 10 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Whole Foods Market merchandises 3 of the 27 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic against the store's assortment lean.

Every category Earthbound Farm plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Whole Foods Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
Earthbound Farm’s SKUs Whole Foods Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Whole Foods 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. Whole Foods Market profile →
