Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
El Burrito is a grocery brand specializing in meatless sausage alternatives, particularly known for its Organic Soyrizo, a plant-based chorizo made from soy.
El Burrito isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Organic Soyrizo Meatless Soy Chorizo in Vegetarian Sausages.
Pacific Market stocks vegetarian sausages thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 11 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is vegetarian sausages: Pacific Market stocks only 4 there, so El Burrito Organic Soyrizo Meatless Soy Chorizo stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 1 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Every category El Burrito 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.
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.
El Burrito’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 →
