Reading the shelf…
World Market is a conventional independent running 4 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Lavazza is an Italian coffee brand renowned for its premium espresso products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 4 stores.
Lead with Costiera Gran Aroma Light Roast Ground Coffee in Ground Coffee.
World Market stocks ground coffee 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.
World Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 55/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.

On shelf here, but only 3 of 11 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Fully stocked here (1/1 SKUs).
Where it would price in ground coffee. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Lavazza (orange) sits below the shelf.
Lavazza’s SKUs World Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from World 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. World Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
