Reading the shelf…
Whole Foods Market is a natural independent running 10 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 30,160 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Jovial is a family-owned grocery brand specializing in organic and gluten-free products, with a focus on ancient grains like einkorn wheat.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 10 stores.
Whole Foods Market merchandises 2 of the 26 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic, vegan against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 50/100.

Every category Jovial plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Whole Foods Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Fully stocked here (1/1 SKUs).
Jovial’s SKUs Whole Foods Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Whole Foods 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. Whole Foods Market profile →
