Reading the shelf…
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Rip Van Wafels is an American food brand known for its innovative take on traditional Dutch stroopwafels and other snack products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Dark Chocolate Wafers in Packaged Cookies.
Community Market CA stocks packaged cookies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
Community Market CA merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

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.
