San-j at Driver's Market
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
San-J is a renowned Japanese food manufacturer with a legacy dating back to 1804, specializing in tamari soy sauce and Asian cooking sauces.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 8 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter.
Lead with Tamari Brewed Soy Sauce in Soy Sauces.
Driver's Market stocks soy sauces thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
Driver's Market merchandises 9 of the 9 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category San-j plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Driver's 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 5 of 11 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 Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
