World Market is a conventional independent running 4 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Haribo is a renowned German confectionery company, famous for its gummy candies, particularly the iconic Goldbears.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen, replicated across all 4 stores.
