Reading the shelf…
World Market is a conventional independent running 4 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Kit Kat® is a renowned brand known for its chocolate-covered wafer bars, offering a variety of flavors including milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and vanilla.
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, replicated across all 4 stores.
Lead with Milk Chocolate Wafer Candy Bar, 1.5 oz in Chocolate Candies.
World Market stocks chocolate candies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 12 other Bay Area grocers.
World Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.
Every category Kit Kat® plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at World Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 22 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in chocolate candies. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Kit Kat® (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
Kit Kat®’s SKUs World Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from World 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. World Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
