Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 14 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Double Chocolate Brownie MacroBar in Other Snack Bars.
Woodlands stocks other snack bars thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
Woodlands carries protein bars in real depth, 101 SKUs against a fleet median of 47, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Woodlands merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →

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