Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Nature's Bakery is a brand specializing in plant-based, dairy-free, and nut-free snack bars made with whole grains and real fruit.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 8 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
