Mezzetta at World Market
World Market is a conventional independent running 4 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Mezzetta is a family-owned American food company that specializes in glass-packed peppers, olives, and a variety of specialty foods.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 4 stores.
