Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Makeup Remover Wipes, 125-count in Eye Makeup Remover.
Woodlands stocks eye makeup remover 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.
Woodlands carries body wash in real depth, 38 SKUs against a fleet median of 10, 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 eye makeup remover: Woodlands stocks only 1 there, so Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes, 125-count stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the eye makeup remover, and position the body wash as a finishing or gift item.
Woodlands merchandises 6 of the 6 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.
enters a thin eye makeup remover shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Neutrogena plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Woodlands. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Neutrogena’s SKUs Woodlands doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →

The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
