Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Loli's isn’t on United Markets’ shelf yet. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Caesar Probiotic Dressing in Caesar Dressing.
United Markets stocks caesar dressing 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.
United Markets carries ranch dressing in real depth, 19 SKUs against a fleet median of 7, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is caesar dressing: United Markets stocks only 14 there, so Loli's Caesar Probiotic Dressing stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the caesar dressing, and position the ranch dressing as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

Where it would price in caesar dressing. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Loli's (orange) sits well above the shelf.

Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
