Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
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 17 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Cocoa Breakfast Cereal in Cereal.
Pacific Market stocks cereal thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 6 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 17 of 34 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.

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 →
