Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Laura Scudder's isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Peanut Butter Spreads in Peanut Butter.
Pacific Market stocks peanut butter thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 6 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market carries dip and sauce mixes in real depth, 20 SKUs against a fleet median of 6, 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 peanut butter: Pacific Market stocks only 6 there, so Laura Scudder's Peanut Butter Spreads stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the peanut butter, and position the dip and sauce mixes as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

enters a thin peanut butter shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Laura Scudder's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
