Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
MALK is a plant-based milk brand known for its commitment to using simple, organic ingredients without additives like gums, oils, or fillers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Oat Milk, Original in Oat Milk.
Fairfax Market stocks oat milk thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
Fairfax Market carries coffee creamers in real depth, 29 SKUs against a fleet median of 13, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Fairfax Market merchandises 7 of the 8 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic, vegetarian against the store's assortment lean.

the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Malk plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 9 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Where it would price in oat milk. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Malk (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Malk’s SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
