Reading the shelf…
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Petit Pot is a brand specializing in French-inspired desserts, offering a range of creamy puddings and pot de crèmes.

The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
