Reading the shelf…
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Pumpkin Tree Organics is a family-owned company that specializes in organic, non-GMO fruit and vegetable snack pouches for children.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Fruit & Vegetable Puree, Organic, Apple, Carrot & Squash in Baby Food Purees.
Community Market CA stocks baby food purees thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
Community Market CA merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 9 of 14 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Community Market CA’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. Community Market CA profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
