Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Quest Nutrition is a brand specializing in high-protein, low-carb snacks designed to support active lifestyles.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Tortilla Style Nacho Cheese Flavored Protein Chips in Tortilla Chips.
Pacific Market stocks tortilla chips 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.
Pacific Market merchandises 7 of the 7 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
an established national brand with proven demand.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 7 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in tortilla chips. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Quest (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Quest’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 →
