Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.

Pacific Market stocks balsamic vinegar thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market carries balsamic vinegar in real depth, 23 SKUs against a fleet median of 10, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Pacific Market merchandises 1 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 3 of 14 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific Market’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. Pacific Market profile →
