Meiji at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Yam Yam Vanilla Creme Cracker Stick with Dip in Other Packaged Treats.
Fairfax Market stocks other packaged treats thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is other packaged treats: Fairfax Market stocks only 6 there, so Meiji Yam Yam Vanilla Creme Cracker Stick with Dip stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 50/100.
enters a thin other packaged treats shelf as a point of difference.
The full runway
Every category Meiji 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 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

What to bring to expand
Meiji’s SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Already on the shelf
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 →
