Garden Of Eatin' at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 3 stores.
Lead with Taco Shells, Blue Corn in Taco Shells.
Woodlands stocks taco shells 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 taco shells: Woodlands stocks only 3 there, so Garden of Eatin' Taco Shells, Blue Corn stands out rather than blending in.
Woodlands merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
