Follow Your Heart at Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 6 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Dairy-Free Parmesan Shredded in Cheese Alternatives.
Sprouts Farmers Market stocks cheese alternatives thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
Sprouts Farmers Market carries mayonnaise in real depth, 33 SKUs against a fleet median of 15, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 5 of the 5 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Sprouts Farmers Market’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. Sprouts Farmers Market profile →
