Little Sesame at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Little Sesame is a gourmet food brand specializing in organic hummus, crafted with regeneratively farmed chickpeas.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Caramelized Onion Hummus in Hummus.
Fairfax Market stocks hummus thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 9 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is hummus: Fairfax Market stocks only 13 there, so Little Sesame Caramelized Onion Hummus stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 2 of 14 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
