Kadoya at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Sesame Oil, Pure in Sesame Oil.
Berkeley Bowl stocks sesame oil 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.

Berkeley Bowl merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
