Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Plantstrong is a brand dedicated to providing plant-based milk alternatives and meal solutions.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Plant Strong Unsweetened Almond Milk, 60% More Almonds, Gluten Free, 32oz | Creamy Plant-Based Milk, Calcium, Vitamins D & B12, No Added Gums, Oils or Sugar, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Whole Almonds in Almond Milk.
Woodlands stocks almond milk 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.
Woodlands merchandises 7 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →

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