Italian Harvest at Mill Valley Market
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 8 new doors to enter.
Lead with Organic Rainbow Bowties in Farfalle Pasta.
Mill Valley Market stocks farfalle pasta 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 farfalle pasta: Mill Valley Market stocks only 7 there, so Italian Harvest Organic Rainbow Bowties stands out rather than blending in.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 14 of the 15 categories the brand sells.

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Mill Valley 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. Mill Valley Market profile →
