Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Body Oil Hydrating Sweet Blossom in Body Oil.
Woodlands stocks body oil thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Woodlands carries body lotion & creams in real depth, 22 SKUs against a fleet median of 4, 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 body oil: Woodlands stocks only 5 there, so Evanhealy Body Oil Hydrating Sweet Blossom stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the body oil, and position the body lotion & creams as a finishing or gift item.
Woodlands merchandises 9 of the 10 categories the brand sells.

Evanhealy’s SKUs Woodlands doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →
