Ground Up at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Ground Up specializes in crafting nut butters that highlight the natural flavors and textures of high-quality ingredients, such as Oregon-grown hazelnuts, creamy almonds, and rich cashews.
Ground Up isn’t on Berkeley Bowl’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Classic Smooth Almond, Cashew & Coconut Butter Nut Butter Blend in Cashew Butter.
Berkeley Bowl stocks cashew butter thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is cashew butter: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 7 there, so Ground Up Classic Smooth Almond, Cashew & Coconut Butter Nut Butter Blend stands out rather than blending in.

Presence and depth are measured from Berkeley Bowl’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. Berkeley Bowl profile →
