Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Open Farm is a pet food brand specializing in high-quality dog and cat food products.
Open Farm isn’t on Fairfax Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 5 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Beef Recipe Grain Free Grass-Fed Food For Dogs in Dry Dog Food.
Fairfax Market stocks dry dog food thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
Fairfax Market carries wet cat food in real depth, 80 SKUs against a fleet median of 21, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Fairfax Market merchandises 5 of the 6 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo against the store's assortment lean.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →

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