Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Nurturme Organic Baby Food isn’t on United Markets’ shelf yet. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Sweet Potato + Mango + Guava Quinoa Milk Coconut Cream Pea Protein Organic Dairy-free Yogurt Alternative in Dairy-Free Yogurt.
United Markets stocks dairy-free yogurt 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.
United Markets carries packaged cookies in real depth, 189 SKUs against a fleet median of 67, 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 dairy-free yogurt: United Markets stocks only 14 there, so NurturMe Organic Baby Food Sweet Potato + Mango + Guava Quinoa Milk Coconut Cream Pea Protein Organic Dairy-free Yogurt Alternative stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the dairy-free yogurt, and position the packaged cookies as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
