Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Rustic Bakery is a specialty foods company based in Petaluma, California, known for its organic and non-GMO baked goods.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Chocolate Chip Cookies in Packaged Cookies.
Pacific Market 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 5 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market merchandises 7 of the 8 categories the brand sells.
