Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Native Forest is a brand that specializes in organic canned fruits, vegetables, and tropical specialties, known for its commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Artichoke Hearts, Whole in Canned Artichokes.
Pacific Market stocks canned artichokes 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 canned artichokes: Pacific Market stocks only 6 there, so Native Forest Artichoke Hearts, Whole stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 10 of the 14 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 →
