Miss Jones Baking Co. at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
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 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 7 new doors to enter.
Lead with Cookie Mix, Organic, Chocolate Chip in Cookie Mixes.
United Markets stocks cookie mixes 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.
United Markets carries pancake & waffle mix in real depth, 26 SKUs against a fleet median of 11, 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 mixes: United Markets stocks only 5 there, so Miss Jones Baking Co. Cookie Mix, Organic, Chocolate Chip stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the cookie mixes, and position the pancake & waffle mix as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 9 of the 9 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
