Reading the shelf…
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 5 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter.

Sprouts Farmers Market stocks canned coconut milk and cream thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 9 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is canned coconut milk and cream: Sprouts Farmers Market stocks only 11 there, so Native Forest Organic Light Unsweetened Coconut Milk stands out rather than blending in.
Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 11 of the 14 categories the brand sells.
