Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Fentimans is a renowned brand known for its botanically brewed craft sodas and mixers, offering a range of unique flavors such as Ginger Beer, Rose Lemonade, and Curiosity Cola.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen.

Mill Valley Market stocks tonic water 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.
