Kitchen Basics at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Kitchen Basics is a brand specializing in high-quality cooking stocks and bone broths.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.

The more differentiated opening is beef broth: United Markets stocks only 11 there, so Kitchen Basics Beef Stock stands out rather than blending in.
