Reading the shelf…
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Follow Your Heart is a pioneering brand in the plant-based food industry, known for its innovative vegan products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 11 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Soy-Free Vegenaise in Mayonnaise.
Community Market CA stocks mayonnaise thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 6 other Bay Area grocers.
Community Market CA carries cheese alternatives in real depth, 30 SKUs against a fleet median of 13, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Community Market CA merchandises 5 of the 5 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic, vegan against the store's assortment lean.

Presence and depth are measured from Community Market CA’s current Bay Area storefront: its online catalog plus our shelf photos, a partial view. A widely-distributed brand shown as a new door may already be carried through channels we don’t index. Community Market CA profile →

Fully stocked here (1/1 SKUs).
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
