Fancy Feast at Mill Valley Market
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Fancy Feast is a premium cat food brand known for its gourmet offerings, providing a variety of wet and dry cat food options, as well as treats and meal toppers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 36 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Purina Fancy Feast Dry Cat Food with Savory Farm-Raised Chicken and Turkey in Dry Cat Food.
Mill Valley Market stocks dry cat food 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.
Mill Valley Market carries wet cat food in real depth, 74 SKUs against a fleet median of 21, 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 dry cat food: Mill Valley Market stocks only 9 there, so Purina Fancy Feast Dry Cat Food with Savory Farm-Raised Chicken and Turkey stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the dry cat food, and position the wet cat food as a finishing or gift item.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
