Marin French Cheese Co. at Sprouts Farmers Market
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.
Marin French Cheese Co. is the oldest continuously operating cheese manufacturer in the U.S., established in 1865.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 6 new doors to enter.
Lead with Petite Breakfast Fresh Brie in Brie.
Sprouts Farmers Market stocks brie thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 16 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is brie: Sprouts Farmers Market stocks only 3 there, so Marin French Cheese Co. Petite Breakfast Fresh Brie stands out rather than blending in.
Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 9 of the 10 categories the brand sells.

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Sprouts Farmers 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. Sprouts Farmers Market profile →
