Reading the shelf…
Falletti Foods is a conventional independent running 1 Bay Area store, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Gimme Seaweed is a prominent brand known for its organic seaweed-based snacks, founded in 2012 in San Rafael, California.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Seaweed Snacks, Roasted, Organic, Teriyaki, 6 Value Pack in Seaweed Chips.

The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
