Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
LaCroix is a popular American brand of sparkling water, celebrated for its diverse range of fruit flavors.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 45 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Sparkling Water, Lime in Sparkling Water.
United Markets stocks sparkling water 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.
United Markets carries sparkling water in real depth, 166 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
United Markets merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.

the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Lacroix plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. 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 45 of 78 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

Lacroix’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
