Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Miss Jones Baking Co. specializes in organic baking mixes and frostings, offering products made with simple, real ingredients for a homemade taste.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Cookie Dough, Gluten-Free, Ready-to-Bake, Monster in Cookie Doughs.
Fairfax Market stocks cookie doughs thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
Fairfax Market carries cake mixes in real depth, 14 SKUs against a fleet median of 7, 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 cookie doughs: Fairfax Market stocks only 3 there, so Miss Jones Baking Co. Cookie Dough, Gluten-Free, Ready-to-Bake, Monster stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the cookie doughs, and position the cake mixes as a finishing or gift item.
Fairfax Market merchandises 8 of the 9 categories the brand sells.
