Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Fever-Tree is a British brand specializing in premium drink mixers, founded in 2003.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 26 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter.

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 3 other Bay Area grocers.
Mill Valley Market carries sparkling water in real depth, 142 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 7 of the 9 categories the brand sells.
