Forest at Community Market CA
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Forest isn’t on Community Market CA’s shelf yet. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.

Community Market CA stocks dried mushrooms 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.
The more differentiated opening is dried mushrooms: Community Market CA stocks only 3 there, so FOREST Organic Mousseron Dried Mushrooms stands out rather than blending in.
Community Market CA merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 65/100.
