Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
MadeGood is a brand specializing in organic, allergy-friendly snacks, including granola bars and minis.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Mornings Organic Baked Oat Cups Banana Chocolate Chip 5ct in Other Packaged Treats.
United Markets stocks other packaged treats 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 packaged cookies in real depth, 189 SKUs against a fleet median of 67, 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 other packaged treats: United Markets stocks only 7 there, so MadeGood Mornings Organic Baked Oat Cups Banana Chocolate Chip 5ct stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the other packaged treats, and position the packaged cookies as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 6 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

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 →

Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
