Post at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Post is a prominent brand within the cereal category, known for its wide range of breakfast cereals.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 15 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Shredded Wheat Whole Grain Breakfast Cereal, Excellent Source of Fiber in Cereal.
Berkeley Bowl stocks cereal thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
Berkeley Bowl carries cereal in real depth, 200 SKUs against a fleet median of 56, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 15 of 34 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 Berkeley Bowl’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. Berkeley Bowl profile →
