Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Mini Chips, Dairy Free, Semi Sweet in Chocolate Chips.
Fairfax Market stocks chocolate chips thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is chocolate chips: Fairfax Market stocks only 14 there, so Enjoy Life Foods Mini Chips, Dairy Free, Semi Sweet stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
