Reading the shelf…
Falletti Foods is a conventional independent running 1 Bay Area store, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Ghirardelli is a premium American chocolate brand known for its high-quality confectionery products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 5 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter.

The more differentiated opening is brownie mixes: Falletti Foods stocks only 3 there, so GHIRARDELLI Double Chocolate Premium Brownie Mix, Includes Chocolate Chips stands out rather than blending in.
Falletti Foods merchandises 8 of the 9 categories the brand sells.
