Hillshire Farm at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 6 new doors to enter.
Lead with Snacking Protein Small Plates, Italian Dry Salami Deli Lunch Meat and Gouda Cheese, 2.76 oz in Snack Packs.
Fairfax Market stocks snack packs thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is snack packs: Fairfax Market stocks only 8 there, so Hillshire Farm Snacking Protein Small Plates, Italian Dry Salami Deli Lunch Meat and Gouda Cheese, 2.76 oz stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 9 of the 11 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.
enters a thin snack packs shelf as a point of difference.
The full runway
Every category Hillshire Farm 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 2 of 4 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
What to bring to expand
Hillshire Farm’s SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Already on the shelf
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 →
