Mike And Ike® 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.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Original Fruits Box in Chewy Candy.
Woodlands stocks chewy candy thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
Woodlands carries sour candy in real depth, 24 SKUs against a fleet median of 10, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is chewy candy: Woodlands stocks only 9 there, so MIKE AND IKE® Original Fruits Box stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the chewy candy, and position the sour candy as a finishing or gift item.
Woodlands merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
