Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Kevin's Natural Foods specializes in clean, convenient prepared meals that cater to health-conscious consumers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 8 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Chicken Tikka Masala in Prepared Indian Food.
Pacific Market stocks prepared indian food 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.
Pacific Market carries barbecue sauces in real depth, 45 SKUs against a fleet median of 14, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is prepared indian food: Pacific Market stocks only 2 there, so Kevin's Natural Foods Chicken Tikka Masala stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the prepared indian food, and position the barbecue sauces as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 17 of the 19 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 →
