Frito Lay at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Snacks Flavor Mix Variety Packs in Variety Pack Chips.
Pacific Market stocks variety pack chips thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market carries potato chips in real depth, 109 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is variety pack chips: Pacific Market stocks only 1 there, so Frito Lay Snacks Flavor Mix Variety Packs stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the variety pack chips, and position the potato chips as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

The full runway · across 2 stores
Every category Frito Lay 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 1 of 20 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
What to bring to expand

Already on the shelf
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 →
