Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Nisshin Oillio isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Canola Oil 1000G Pet in Canola Oil.
Pacific Market stocks canola oil 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.
The more differentiated opening is canola oil: Pacific Market stocks only 8 there, so Nisshin OilliO Canola Oil 1000G Pet stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 30/100.
enters a thin canola oil shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Nisshin Oillio plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. 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 canola oil. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which).
Nisshin Oillio’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
