Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Patagonia Provisions is a grocery brand focused on providing delicious and responsibly sourced food products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 17 new doors to enter.
Lead with Spanish White Anchovies, Roasted Garlic in Canned Anchovies.
United Markets stocks canned anchovies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries crackers in real depth, 224 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. The more differentiated opening is canned anchovies: United Markets stocks only 4 there, so Patagonia Provisions Spanish White Anchovies, Roasted Garlic stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the canned anchovies, and position the crackers as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 21 of the 22 categories the brand sells.
