Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Hodo is a brand specializing in high-protein, organic tofu and plant-based products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Chinese 5 Spice Tofu Nuggets in Tofu And Bean Curd.
Pacific Market stocks tofu and bean curd thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 9 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is tofu and bean curd: Pacific Market stocks only 1 there, so Hodo Chinese 5 Spice Tofu Nuggets stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 5 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

Every category Hodo plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific 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 1 of 13 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Hodo’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
