Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Loacker is a renowned brand specializing in premium wafers, chocolates, and snacks.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Quadratini Lemon, NON-GMO Bite-size Wafer Cookie in Packaged Cookies.
Pacific Market stocks packaged cookies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 10 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market merchandises 4 of the 4 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 →
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
