Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 9 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 6 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with LAWRY'S Coarse Ground with Parsley Garlic Salt in Garlic Salt.
United Markets stocks garlic salt thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries other seasoning mixes in real depth, 47 SKUs against a fleet median of 15.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is garlic salt: United Markets stocks only 6 there, so LAWRY'S Coarse Ground with Parsley Garlic Salt stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the garlic salt, and position the other seasoning mixes as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 12 of the 12 categories the brand sells.

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 →
