Frontier Soups - Anderson House at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Chicken Noodle Soup Mix in Dry Soup Kits.
United Markets stocks dry soup kits 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.
United Markets carries dried lentils in real depth, 19 SKUs against a fleet median of 4, 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 dry soup kits: United Markets stocks only 12 there, so Frontier Soups - Anderson House Chicken Noodle Soup Mix stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the dry soup kits, and position the dried lentils as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 50/100.
enters a thin dry soup kits shelf as a point of difference.

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
