Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Herdez is a leading brand known for its authentic Mexican salsas and sauces, celebrated for bringing the genuine flavors of Mexico to kitchens worldwide.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
Lead with Salsa Casera Medium in Salsas.
Fairfax Market stocks salsas thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
Fairfax Market merchandises 4 of the 5 categories the brand sells.

Every category Herdez plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 4 of 13 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Fully stocked here (1/1 SKUs).
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
