Local at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Local Hive is a brand dedicated to providing 100% pure, raw, and unfiltered honey. The brand continues the legacy of L.R.
Local isn’t on Fairfax Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Carrots & Jalapenos in Pickled Vegetables.
Fairfax Market stocks pickled vegetables 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.
The more differentiated opening is pickled vegetables: Fairfax Market stocks only 4 there, so Local Carrots & Jalapenos stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 1 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
What to bring to land
Local’s SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
