Local Hive at Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Local Hive is a brand dedicated to providing 100% pure, raw, and unfiltered honey. The brand continues the legacy of L.R.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen.
Lead with Hot Sauce, Hatch Chile in Hot Sauces.
Sprouts Farmers Market stocks hot sauces thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Sprouts Farmers Market carries honey in real depth, 42 SKUs against a fleet median of 17, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
