San Merican at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
San Merican is a grocery brand specializing in canned tomatoes and sauces.
San Merican isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Diced Tomatoes, No Salt Added in Canned Diced Tomatoes.
Pacific Market stocks canned diced tomatoes 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.
The more differentiated opening is canned diced tomatoes: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so San Merican Diced Tomatoes, No Salt Added stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
