Patak's at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Hot Mango Chutney in Chutney.
United Markets stocks chutney thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries boxed grain meal & sides in real depth, 53 SKUs against a fleet median of 14, 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 chutney: United Markets stocks only 4 there, so Patak's Hot Mango Chutney stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the chutney, and position the boxed grain meal & sides as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 6 of the 6 categories the brand sells.

Already on the shelf
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 →
