Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Lundberg Family Farms is a family-owned company that specializes in organic rice and rice-based products, founded in 1937 and based in Richvale, California.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 20 SKUs across 7 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 6 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Gourmet Wild Blend Rice in Wild Rice.
Fairfax Market stocks wild rice 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.
Fairfax Market carries rice cakes in real depth, 22 SKUs against a fleet median of 9, 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 wild rice: Fairfax Market stocks only 2 there, so Lundberg Family Farms Gourmet Wild Blend Rice stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the wild rice, and position the rice cakes as a finishing or gift item.
Fairfax Market merchandises 12 of the 13 categories the brand sells.

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 →
