Rubicon at Falletti Foods
Falletti Foods is a conventional independent running 1 Bay Area store, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Rubicon Bakers is a brand specializing in handcrafted cakes, cupcakes, and muffins, known for using clean, scratch-made ingredients without artificial additives.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Handcrafted Cupcakes, Chocolate Cream in Cupcakes.
Falletti Foods stocks cupcakes thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 10 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is cupcakes: Falletti Foods stocks only 14 there, so Rubicon Handcrafted Cupcakes, Chocolate Cream stands out rather than blending in.
Falletti Foods merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

Every category Rubicon plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Falletti Foods. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 4 of 14 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Falletti Foods’ 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. Falletti Foods profile →
