Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
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 11 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Fruity PEBBLES Breakfast Cereal, Gluten Free, Kids Snacks, Small Cereal Box in Cereal.
