Reading the shelf…
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.
Skippy is a well-known brand specializing in peanut butter products, offering a variety of options including creamy, super chunk, and natural peanut butter spreads.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Natural Peanut Butter Spread Creamy in Peanut Butter.
Woodlands stocks peanut butter thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is peanut butter: Woodlands stocks only 12 there, so SKIPPY Natural Peanut Butter Spread Creamy stands out rather than blending in.
Woodlands merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →
