Polar at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Polar is a family-owned brand that has been crafting sparkling water since 1882.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Premium Original Seltzer in Sparkling Water.
Pacific Market stocks sparkling water thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.

The full runway · across 2 stores
Every category Polar plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 3 of 21 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.

Already on the shelf
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 →
