Galaxy Desserts at Safeway
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Galaxy Desserts isn’t on Safeway’s shelf yet in any of its 13 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Petite Seasonal Fruit Tart in Tarts.
Safeway stocks tarts thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Safeway carries standard frosted cakes in real depth, 18 SKUs against a fleet median of 9, 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 tarts: Safeway stocks only 3 there, so Galaxy Desserts Petite Seasonal Fruit Tart stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the tarts, and position the standard frosted cakes as a finishing or gift item.
Safeway merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.

Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.

What to bring to land
Galaxy Desserts’ SKUs Safeway doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Safeway’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. Safeway profile →
