Reading the shelf…
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Madhava is a brand specializing in natural sweeteners and culinary oils, committed to providing healthier alternatives to processed food products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 5 new doors to enter.

Sprouts Farmers Market stocks agave syrup thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
