Reading the shelf…
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Nature Nate's is a leading U.S. honey brand known for its 100% pure, raw, and unfiltered honey products.
Nature Nate's isn’t on Berkeley Bowl’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Sorghum, Popped, Coconut Oil & Pink Himalayan Sea Salt in Popcorn.
Berkeley Bowl stocks popcorn thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Berkeley Bowl carries honey in real depth, 78 SKUs against a fleet median of 17, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic, vegan against the store's assortment lean.
an established national brand with proven demand.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Nature Nate's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Berkeley Bowl. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Where it would price in popcorn. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Nature Nate's (orange) sits above the shelf.
Nature Nate's’ SKUs Berkeley Bowl doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Berkeley Bowl’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. Berkeley Bowl profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
