Reading the shelf…
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Minor Figures is a brand specializing in plant-based milk products, particularly oat milk designed for coffee enthusiasts.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Barista Oat, Organic in Oat Milk.
Driver's Market stocks oat milk 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 oat milk: Driver's Market stocks only 12 there, so Minor Figures Barista Oat, Organic stands out rather than blending in.
Driver's Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
