Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
M&M's is a renowned brand of colorful, sugar-coated chocolate candies produced by Mars Inc. since 1941.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with MINIS Milk Chocolate Summer Candy Sharing Size Resealable in Chocolate Candies.
Pacific Market stocks chocolate candies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 30/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.
Every category M&m's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific 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 12 of 47 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in chocolate candies. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). M&m's (orange) sits below the shelf.
M&m's’ SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
