Reading the shelf…
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company is an artisanal cheese producer located in Point Reyes Station, California, founded in 2000 by the Giacomini family.
Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company isn’t on Driver's Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with TomaTruffle in Other Cheese.
Driver's Market stocks other cheese thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 9 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is other cheese: Driver's Market stocks only 4 there, so Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company TomaTruffle stands out rather than blending in.
Driver's Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
