Love Corn at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Love Corn is a snack brand specializing in crunchy corn snacks. The brand offers a variety of flavors including Sea Salt, Hot & Spicy, and Cheezy, catering to different taste preferences.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with BBQ, Delicious Crunchy Corn Snack in Corn Chips.
Woodlands stocks corn chips thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
Woodlands carries other snacks in real depth, 31 SKUs against a fleet median of 12.5, 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 corn chips: Woodlands stocks only 8 there, so LOVE CORN BBQ, Delicious Crunchy Corn Snack stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the corn chips, and position the other snacks as a finishing or gift item.
Woodlands merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
