Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Lagunitas Brewing Company is a prominent brand in the beer and non-alcoholic beverage category, known for its diverse range of craft beers and non-alcoholic options.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
an established national brand with proven demand.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Lagunitas 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 1 of 4 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Lagunitas’ 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 →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
