Opportunities
New doors · no Lean Cuisine in our capture yet
Bay Area grocers where neither the digital catalog nor our shelf photos show Lean Cuisine· but the shelf it belongs on is already there, ranked by fit. Fit blends category coverage, rival presence, price-band match, and openness to independents at this scale; weigh the footprint chips and route notes against it · a 7-door chain and a single great shop are different prizes. Our capture is partial, so a widely-distributed brand may already be carried through channels we don’t index.
Lead with Lean Cuisine Signature Pepperoni Pizza Frozen Meal · its most-distributed SKU (2 doors) in Frozen Pizzas, the biggest opening. The closest open door is Safeway · 5 rivals already on that shelf.
