Lärabar at Whole Foods Market
Whole Foods Market is a natural independent running 10 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 30,160 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
LÄRABAR is a brand known for producing healthy, gluten-free snack bars made from minimal, pure ingredients.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 8 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen, replicated across all 10 stores.

Presence and depth are measured from Whole Foods 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. Whole Foods Market profile →
