Elmhurst at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Elmhurst is a brand specializing in plant-based milk alternatives, offering a range of products made from nuts, grains, and seeds.
Elmhurst isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Unsweetened Almond Milk in Almond Milk.
Pacific Market stocks almond milk thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 10 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market carries coffee creamers in real depth, 28 SKUs against a fleet median of 13, 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 almond milk: Pacific Market stocks only 8 there, so Elmhurst Unsweetened Almond Milk stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the almond milk, and position the coffee creamers as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 5 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

The full runway · across 2 stores
Every category Elmhurst 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.

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 →
