Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with S&B Wasabi, Prepared, In Tube in Wasabi.
Fairfax Market stocks wasabi thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Fairfax Market carries dip and sauce mixes in real depth, 19 SKUs against a fleet median of 6, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is wasabi: Fairfax Market stocks only 1 there, so S&B Wasabi, Prepared, In Tube stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the wasabi, and position the dip and sauce mixes as a finishing or gift item.
Fairfax Market merchandises 7 of the 8 categories the brand sells.

Every category S&b Foods Golden Curry plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax 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 2 of 6 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
S&b Foods Golden Curry’s SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
