Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Frozen Mini Protein Pancakes, 14.1 oz Box, 40 Count in Frozen Pancakes.
Pacific Market stocks frozen pancakes thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is frozen pancakes: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so Premier Protein Frozen Mini Protein Pancakes, 14.1 oz Box, 40 Count stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 5 of the 5 categories the brand sells.

Every category Premier Protein 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 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Premier Protein’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
