Field Roast is a Seattle-based company known for its artisanal plant-based meats and cheeses, founded in 1997.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
Lead with Spicy Mexican Chipotle Plant-Based Sausage in Vegetarian Sausages.
Driver's Market stocks vegetarian sausages thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 9 other Bay Area grocers.
