Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
GoMacro is a Wisconsin-based company that specializes in organic, plant-based nutrition bars, founded in 2004 by a mother-daughter team.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Oatmeal Chocolate Chip MacroBar in Protein Bars.
Pacific Market stocks protein bars thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 15 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is protein bars: Pacific Market stocks only 6 there, so GoMacro Oatmeal Chocolate Chip MacroBar stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

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.
