Ghirardelli at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Ghirardelli is a premium American chocolate brand known for its high-quality confectionery products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 16 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Premium White Chocolate Baking Bar in Baking Bars.
Fairfax Market stocks baking bars thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is baking bars: Fairfax Market stocks only 4 there, so Ghirardelli Premium White Chocolate Baking Bar stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 8 of the 9 categories the brand sells.
