Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Health-Ade is a wellness beverage company known for its organic kombucha, which is rich in probiotics.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Kombucha, Pink Lady Apple in Kombucha.
Fairfax Market stocks kombucha thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 19 other Bay Area grocers.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
