Reading the shelf…
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Kite Hill is a U.S.-based company that specializes in plant-based dairy alternatives, offering a range of innovative products made primarily from almonds.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
Lead with Almond Milk Ricotta in Cheese Alternatives.
Driver's Market stocks cheese alternatives thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
Driver's Market merchandises 9 of the 10 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
