San-j at Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 7 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Soy Sauce, Naturally Brewed, Organic Shoyu in Soy Sauces.
Sprouts Farmers 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 11 other Bay Area grocers.
Sprouts Farmers 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 Sprouts Farmers 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 4 of 11 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
How it prices

What to bring to expand
San-j’s SKUs Sprouts Farmers Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Sprouts Farmers 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. Sprouts Farmers Market profile →
