Reading the shelf…
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Simply is a prominent juice brand known for its high-quality, real ingredient-based beverages.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 6 new doors to enter, replicated across all 13 stores.
