Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Homestyle Original Crispy Marshmallow Squares, Kids Snacks in Other Packaged Treats.
United Markets stocks other packaged treats thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is other packaged treats: United Markets stocks only 7 there, so Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Homestyle Original Crispy Marshmallow Squares, Kids Snacks stands out rather than blending in.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
