Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Lay's is a leading brand of potato chips, known for its wide variety of flavors and commitment to quality.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 18 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Kettle Cooked Potato Chips, Mesquite BBQ Flavored in Potato Chips.
Pacific Market stocks potato chips 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.
Pacific Market carries potato chips in real depth, 109 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.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

Every category Lay'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.
On shelf here, but only 17 of 59 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

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 →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
