Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Kinder's is a brand specializing in a wide range of seasonings, dry rubs, and BBQ sauces designed to enhance the flavor of various dishes.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 6 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Hot Teriyaki with Jalapeno & Ginger Wing Sauce & Dip in Teriyaki Sauces.
Pacific Market stocks teriyaki sauces 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.
The more differentiated opening is teriyaki sauces: Pacific Market stocks only 9 there, so Kinder's Hot Teriyaki with Jalapeno & Ginger Wing Sauce & Dip stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 15 of the 17 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 →
