Epic at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
EPIC Provisions is a U.S.-based brand that specializes in meat-based snacks, offering a variety of products such as bars, bites, and trail mixes.
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, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Pink Himalayan and Sea Salt Baked Pork Rinds in Pork Rinds.
Pacific Market stocks pork rinds thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is pork rinds: Pacific Market stocks only 1 there, so EPIC Pink Himalayan and Sea Salt Baked Pork Rinds stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 4 of the 8 categories the brand sells.

Every category Epic 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.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 6 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

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 →
