Just Desserts at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Just Desserts is a premium dessert brand known for its hand-crafted, scratch-baked cakes, brownies, and cupcakes.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Cookies & Cream Cupcake in Cupcakes.
Pacific Market stocks cupcakes thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is cupcakes: Pacific Market stocks only 10 there, so Just Desserts Cookies & Cream Cupcake stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 4 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
