Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Wondra Quick Mixing All Purpose Flour in All Purpose Flour.
Pacific Market stocks all purpose flour 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 all purpose flour: Pacific Market stocks only 12 there, so Gold Medal Wondra Quick Mixing All Purpose Flour stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 25/100.
enters a thin all purpose flour shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Gold Medal plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 3 of 7 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Fully stocked here (1/1 SKUs).
Where it would price in all purpose flour. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Gold Medal (orange) sits below the shelf.
Gold Medal’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
