Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Fierce Cinnamon Flavored Chewy Candies in Chewy Candy.
Fairfax Market stocks chewy candy 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.
The more differentiated opening is chewy candy: Fairfax Market stocks only 13 there, so Hot Tamales® Fierce Cinnamon Flavored Chewy Candies stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
