Fresh Express at Mill Valley Market
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Fresh Express is a brand specializing in a variety of salad kits and salad greens, offering convenient and nutritious meal solutions.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Caesar Supreme Salad Kit in Bagged Salad Kits.
Mill Valley Market stocks bagged salad kits thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is bagged salad kits: Mill Valley Market stocks only 5 there, so Fresh Express Caesar Supreme Salad Kit stands out rather than blending in.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 4 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 11 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Mill Valley 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. Mill Valley Market profile →
