Somos at Woodlands
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.
Somos is a Mexican food brand that offers a range of ready-to-eat products inspired by authentic Mexican recipes.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 5 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
