Reading the shelf…
Whole Foods Market is a natural independent running 10 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 30,160 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Primal Kitchen is a health-focused American food brand known for its range of condiments, sauces, and pantry staples.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen, replicated across all 10 stores.
