Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Once Upon a Farm is a brand specializing in organic, non-GMO snacks and meals for babies, toddlers, and children.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Organic Kids' Soft Baked Bar, Apple & Oat in Other Snack Bars.
Pacific Market stocks other snack bars 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 other snack bars: Pacific Market stocks only 6 there, so Once Upon a Farm Organic Kids' Soft Baked Bar, Apple & Oat stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 8 of the 12 categories the brand sells.

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 →
