Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Home Maid isn’t on Fairfax Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Pesto Sauce in Pesto.
Fairfax Market stocks pesto thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.

Fairfax Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.

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 →
