World Market is a conventional independent running 4 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.
Schär isn’t on World Market’s shelf yet in any of its 4 stores. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.

World Market merchandises 7 of the 19 categories the brand sells.

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