Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish is a brand known for its iconic fish-shaped snack crackers, offering a variety of flavors including cheddar, pretzel, and Flavor Blasted varieties.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Original Baked Snack Crackers in Crackers.
Pacific Market stocks crackers 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.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.

Pepperidge Farm Goldfish’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific Market’s 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. Pacific Market profile →
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
