Reading the shelf…
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Patagonia Provisions is a grocery brand focused on providing delicious and responsibly sourced food products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 16 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 15 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Pasta Roc Fusilli in Fusilli Pasta.
Berkeley Bowl stocks fusilli pasta 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.
Berkeley Bowl carries crackers in real depth, 267 SKUs against a fleet median of 85, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 21 of the 22 categories the brand sells.
