Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Safe Catch is a brand specializing in canned seafood, including tuna, salmon, sardines, and mackerel.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Wild Albacore Tuna, Mercury Tested in Canned Tuna.
Mill Valley Market stocks canned tuna thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 9 other Bay Area grocers.
Mill Valley Market carries canned tuna in real depth, 46 SKUs against a fleet median of 17.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 5 of the 7 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, wild-caught against the store's assortment lean.

Every category Safe Catch plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Mill Valley Market. 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 3 of 11 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Safe Catch’s SKUs Mill Valley Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Mill Valley 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. Mill Valley Market profile →
