Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Hawaiian Sea Salt Macadamia Nuts Jar in Macadamia Nuts.
Fairfax Market stocks macadamia nuts thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is macadamia nuts: Fairfax Market stocks only 3 there, so Mauna Loa Hawaiian Sea Salt Macadamia Nuts Jar stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, vegan against the store's assortment lean.

Every category Mauna Loa 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 3 of 5 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Mauna Loa’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 →
