Reading the shelf…
World Market is a conventional independent running 4 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Red Lake Nation isn’t on World Market’s shelf yet in any of its 4 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Wild Chokecherry Jelly in Jams And Jellies.
World Market stocks jams and jellies 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.
The more differentiated opening is jams and jellies: World Market stocks only 9 there, so Red Lake Nation Wild Chokecherry Jelly stands out rather than blending in.
World Market merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 45/100.
enters a thin jams and jellies shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Red Lake Nation plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at World Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.

Red Lake Nation’s SKUs World Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from World 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. World Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
