Louisiana Fish Fry Products at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 7 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Boil-in-Bag Seafood Boil for Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab in Seafood Seasoning.
Berkeley Bowl stocks seafood seasoning 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.
Berkeley Bowl carries boxed grain meal & sides in real depth, 43 SKUs against a fleet median of 14, 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 seafood seasoning: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 6 there, so Louisiana Fish Fry Products Boil-in-Bag Seafood Boil for Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the seafood seasoning, and position the boxed grain meal & sides as a finishing or gift item.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 7 of the 7 categories the brand sells.
