Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
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 5 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 new door to enter.
United Markets merchandises 5 of the 5 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 60/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Marin plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in cheddar. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Marin (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
Marin’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
