Reading the shelf…
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Rigoni di Asiago is an Italian family-owned brand known for its organic fruit spreads, honey, and chocolate spreads.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 11 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Hazelnut Spread, Organic, with Cocoa & Milk in Hazelnut Spread.
Berkeley Bowl stocks hazelnut spread 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.
Berkeley Bowl carries fruit spreads in real depth, 96 SKUs against a fleet median of 15, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is hazelnut spread: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 9 there, so Rigoni di Asiago Hazelnut Spread, Organic, with Cocoa & Milk stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the hazelnut spread, and position the fruit spreads as a finishing or gift item.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 4 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
