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.
So Delicious is a brand specializing in dairy-free food and beverages, offering a wide range of products including frozen desserts, yogurt alternatives, creamers, and beverages.
