Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Sierra Nevada Cheese Co.: Sierra Nevada Cheese Company is an artisan dairy producer based in Willows, California, known for its handcrafted goat and cow dairy products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 13 SKUs across 8 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 9 new doors to enter.
Lead with Sierra Nevada Cheese Company Organic Cream Cheese Traditional Chub in Cream Cheese.
Mill Valley Market stocks cream cheese thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
Mill Valley Market carries sparkling water in real depth, 142 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Mill Valley Market merchandises 18 of the 23 categories the brand sells.
