Reading the shelf…
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.
Santa Cruz Organic is a pioneer in the organic food and beverage sector, offering a wide variety of products such as fruit juices, lemonades, and apple sauces.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 14 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
