Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Rebel isn’t on Target’s shelf yet in any of its 6 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.

Target merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, vegan against the store's assortment lean.

Where it would price in cheddar. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Rebel (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Rebel’s SKUs Target doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →
