Epic Dental at Driver's Market
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Epic Dental isn’t on Driver's Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Xylitol Sweetened Chewing Gum in Chewing Gum.
Driver's Market stocks chewing gum thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is chewing gum: Driver's Market stocks only 13 there, so Epic Dental Xylitol Sweetened Chewing Gum stands out rather than blending in.
Driver's Market merchandises 1 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 50/100.
enters a thin chewing gum shelf as a point of difference.
The full runway
Every category Epic Dental plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Driver's 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.
What to bring to land
Epic Dental’s SKUs Driver's Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
