Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Corned Beef Canned Meat in Canned Beef.
Pacific Market stocks canned beef 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 fruit juice & blends in real depth, 104 SKUs against a fleet median of 39, 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 canned beef: Pacific Market stocks only 1 there, so Libby's Corned Beef Canned Meat stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the canned beef, and position the fruit juice & blends as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 6 of the 7 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo against the store's assortment lean.

enters a thin canned beef shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Libby'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 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Libby's’ SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
