Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Liquid Death is a beverage brand known for its unique approach to hydration, offering a range of products including sparkling water, iced tea, and energy drinks.
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.
Pacific Market merchandises 5 of the 6 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 90/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.
Every category Liquid Death 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 7 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Liquid Death’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.
