Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Lily's is a brand specializing in no-sugar-added sweets, offering a range of products including baking chocolate, chocolate style bars, peanut butter cups, and gummies.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs 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 Dark Chocolate Style No Sugar Added, Baking Chips Bag, 9 oz in Chocolate Chips.
Pacific Market stocks chocolate chips thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market merchandises 5 of the 6 categories the brand sells.

Every category Lily'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 3 of 4 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in chocolate chips. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Lily's (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Lily'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 →

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