Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
FAGE is an international dairy company known for its authentic Greek strained yogurt, which is made using fresh milk and live active cultures.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 14 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.

United Markets stocks greek & icelandic yogurt 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.
United Markets carries traditional yogurt in real depth, 146 SKUs against a fleet median of 48, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
