Reading the shelf…
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Solely is a brand specializing in organic fruit snacks, including dried fruits and fruit gummies, made from whole fruits without added sugars or preservatives.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 5 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with - Organic Mango Fruit Jerky - 5 Individually Wrapped Fruit Strips - Fruit Leather Made from Dried Fruits - Healthy Snacks, Vegan - 0.8oz (23g) in Other Dried Fruit.

The more differentiated opening is other dried fruit: Sprouts Farmers Market stocks only 6 there, so Solely - Organic Mango Fruit Jerky - 5 Individually Wrapped Fruit Strips - Fruit Leather Made from Dried Fruits - Healthy Snacks, Vegan - 0.8oz (23g) stands out rather than blending in.
