Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Progresso is a well-established brand known for its high-quality canned soups and traditional recipes.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 27 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
