Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Fire & Smoke Society isn’t on Fairfax Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 4 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Street Corn Seasoning Mix in Frozen Corn.
Fairfax Market stocks frozen corn 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.

Fairfax Market merchandises 7 of the 7 categories the brand sells.
