Mitica at Driver's Market
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Mitica is a specialty food brand established in 2003 by Forever Cheese, focusing on premium Mediterranean products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 11 SKUs across 9 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 7 categories to widen and 6 new doors to enter.
Lead with Cake, Fig Almond in Other Cakes.
Driver's Market stocks other cakes 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 other cakes: Driver's Market stocks only 5 there, so Mitica Cake, Fig Almond stands out rather than blending in.
Driver's Market merchandises 16 of the 21 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 →
