Mccormick at Woodlands
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.
McCormick is a well-established brand known for its extensive range of spices and seasoning mixes, which have been staples in kitchens since 1889.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 23 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Pure Peppermint Extract in Peppermint Extract.
