Schmidt Old Tyme at Woodlands
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Schmidt Old Tyme isn’t on Woodlands’ shelf yet in any of its 3 stores. The opening: 2 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Schmidt's Awesome Corn Top Roll, 30 oz in Other Buns And Rolls.
Woodlands stocks other buns and rolls 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.
Woodlands carries deodorants and antiperspirants in real depth, 20 SKUs against a fleet median of 7, 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 other buns and rolls: Woodlands stocks only 7 there, so Schmidt's Awesome Corn Top Roll, 30 oz stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the other buns and rolls, and position the deodorants and antiperspirants as a finishing or gift item.
Woodlands merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
