Little Sesame at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Little Sesame is a gourmet food brand specializing in organic hummus, crafted with regeneratively farmed chickpeas.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Avocado Oil Hummus in Hummus.
Pacific 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 3 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is hummus: Pacific Market stocks only 10 there, so Little Sesame Avocado Oil Hummus stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

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 →
