Reading the shelf…
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 60/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.

Fully stocked here (1/1 SKUs).
Where it would price in chocolate covered dried fruit. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Nutty Dates (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
Nutty Dates’ 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 →
