Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Organic Girl: Organicgirl is a premium organic food company founded in 2007, specializing in fresh greens and salad dressings.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 17 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Super Spinach Greens in Spinach.
United Markets stocks spinach thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries vinaigrette dressing in real depth, 33 SKUs against a fleet median of 11, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is spinach: United Markets stocks only 2 there, so Organic Girl Super Spinach Greens stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the spinach, and position the vinaigrette dressing as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 8 of the 9 categories the brand sells.

Organic Girl’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
