Jim Beam at Bi-Rite Market
Bi-Rite Market is a specialty independent running 5 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,881 sq ft each, indexing high on better-for-you versus other Bay Area grocers.
Jim Beam isn’t on Bi-Rite Market’s shelf yet in any of its 5 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Sunshine Blend Bourbon Whiskey in Bourbon.
Bi-Rite Market stocks bourbon 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 bourbon: Bi-Rite Market stocks only 3 there, so Jim Beam Sunshine Blend Bourbon Whiskey stands out rather than blending in.
Bi-Rite Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.

brand excitement 40/100.
enters a thin bourbon shelf as a point of difference.
