Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Mutti is an Italian brand specializing in tomato-based products, known for its high-quality sauces and canned tomatoes.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with No Added Sugar Datterini Tomatoes and Basil Pasta Sauce in Tomato Based Sauces.
Pacific Market stocks tomato based sauces thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market merchandises 5 of the 9 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic, vegan against the store's assortment lean.

Every category Mutti plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 6 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in tomato based sauces. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Mutti (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
Mutti’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 →
