Simply Organic at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Simply Organic is a brand dedicated to providing certified organic spices, seasonings, and baking flavors.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 36 new doors to enter.
Lead with Simmer Sauce, Southwest Taco in Taco Sauces.
United Markets stocks taco sauces 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.
United Markets carries other seasoning mixes in real depth, 47 SKUs against a fleet median of 15.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is taco sauces: United Markets stocks only 10 there, so Simply Organic Simmer Sauce, Southwest Taco stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the taco sauces, and position the other seasoning mixes as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 46 of the 46 categories the brand sells.

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
