Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Nancy's is a pioneering brand of cultured dairy and non-dairy products, known for its commitment to quality and health.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 5 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Cottage Cheese, 2% Milkfat Min, Lowfat, Organic in Cottage Cheese.
Pacific Market stocks cottage cheese thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 13 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market carries traditional yogurt in real depth, 103 SKUs against a fleet median of 48, 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 cottage cheese: Pacific Market stocks only 11 there, so Nancy's Cottage Cheese, 2% Milkfat Min, Lowfat, Organic stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the cottage cheese, and position the traditional yogurt as a finishing or gift item.
Pacific Market merchandises 10 of the 10 categories the brand sells.

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 →
