Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Omni isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Plant-Based Pork Style Luncheon in Other Frozen Meat Substitutes.

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