Schär at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Schär is a leading brand specializing in gluten-free products, dedicated to providing high-quality options for those with dietary restrictions.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 9 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Artisan Baker Soft and Airy Multigrain Bread in Other Breads.
Berkeley Bowl stocks other breads thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
Berkeley Bowl carries chocolate candies in real depth, 407 SKUs against a fleet median of 159, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 18 of the 19 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Berkeley Bowl’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. Berkeley Bowl profile →
