Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Frontier Co-op is a brand known for its sustainably sourced herbs, spices, and teas.
Frontier Co-op isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 12 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.

The more differentiated opening is pepper: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so Frontier Co-op Black Peppercorns, Organic, Tellicherry, Grinders stands out rather than blending in.

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 →
