Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Nana Joes Granola is a San Francisco-based brand that specializes in handcrafted, gluten-free, vegan, and organic granola products.

Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →
