Reading the shelf…
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Poppi is an innovative American brand that specializes in prebiotic sodas, combining traditional soft drink flavors with apple cider vinegar and prebiotic fiber to support gut health.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 11 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 13 stores.
Safeway merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 11 of 45 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 Safeway’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. Safeway profile →

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