Ore-ida at Safeway
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Ore-Ida is a well-known brand specializing in frozen potato products, offering a variety of convenient and crispy options for meals and snacks.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 13 stores.
Lead with Crispy Tater Tots in Frozen Tater Tots.
Safeway stocks frozen tater tots thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is frozen tater tots: Safeway stocks only 2 there, so Ore-Ida Crispy Tater Tots stands out rather than blending in.

Presence and depth are measured from Safeway’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. Safeway profile →
