Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 8 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Dog Treat, Dog Joy Wood-Smoked Turkey Bacon Treat in Fresh Dog Food.
Pacific Market stocks fresh dog food 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 fresh dog food: Pacific Market stocks only 8 there, so Freshpet Dog Treat, Dog Joy Wood-Smoked Turkey Bacon Treat stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
an established national brand with proven demand.
enters a thin fresh dog food shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Freshpet plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 8 of 25 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Freshpet’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
