Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Lean Cuisine is a brand specializing in frozen prepared meals and entrées, offering a variety of chef-crafted dishes that are designed to be both nutritious and flavorful.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 5 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
Target merchandises 7 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →

Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
