Reading the shelf…
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.
Mamma Emma is a brand specializing in authentic Italian gnocchi and sauces, crafted to retain the traditional homemade shape and flavor.
