Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Kettle Brand is a renowned American snack food company that specializes in kettle-cooked potato chips, known for their bold flavors and crunchy texture.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 26 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Made with Avocado Oil Apple Cider Vinegar Chips in Potato Chips.
United Markets stocks potato chips thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries potato chips in real depth, 117 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
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 →
