Mendocino Mustard at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Maple Horseradish in Other Mustard.
Fairfax Market stocks other mustard 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 mustard: Fairfax Market stocks only 3 there, so Mendocino Mustard Maple Horseradish stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 55/100.
enters a thin other mustard shelf as a point of difference.
The full runway
Every category Mendocino Mustard 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.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
What to bring to expand
Mendocino Mustard’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 →
