Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
HATCH is a brand specializing in high-quality New Mexican and Southwestern food products, particularly known for its canned peppers and sauces.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Enchilada Sauce, Green Chile, Mild in Enchilada Sauces.
Pacific Market stocks enchilada sauces thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is enchilada sauces: Pacific Market stocks only 10 there, so HATCH Enchilada Sauce, Green Chile, Mild stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 4 of the 5 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 →
