Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Foods is a U.S.-based brand founded in 1987, specializing in organic and natural food products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
Lead with Organic Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth in Bone Broth.
Target stocks bone broth 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 bone broth: Target stocks only 4 there, so Pacific Foods Organic Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth stands out rather than blending in.
Target merchandises 11 of the 21 categories the brand sells.
