Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
MUSH is a brand specializing in clean, ready-to-eat overnight oats and protein snacks, designed for convenient, healthy breakfasts.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with French Vanilla Overnight Oats in Prepared Oats.
Pacific Market stocks prepared oats 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.
The more differentiated opening is prepared oats: Pacific Market stocks only 2 there, so MUSH French Vanilla Overnight Oats stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 2 of 10 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Mush’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
