Santa Barbara Olive Co. at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Santa Barbara Olive Co. is a family-owned brand specializing in gourmet olives, extra virgin olive oils, and related products.
Santa Barbara Olive Co. isn’t on Fairfax Market’s shelf yet. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.

Fairfax Market stocks pistachios 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.
The more differentiated opening is pistachios: Fairfax Market stocks only 6 there, so Santa Barbara Olive Co. Organic Salted Pistachio stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

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 →
