La Tourangelle at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
La Tourangelle is a French-American family-owned brand specializing in high-quality culinary oils.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 17 SKUs across 9 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Hazelnut Oil, Roasted in Nut Oil.
Berkeley Bowl stocks nut oil thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
Berkeley Bowl carries olive oils in real depth, 152 SKUs against a fleet median of 31, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is nut oil: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 7 there, so La Tourangelle Hazelnut Oil, Roasted stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the nut oil, and position the olive oils as a finishing or gift item.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 11 of the 11 categories the brand sells.
