Sonoma Gourmet at Driver's Market
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Sonoma Gourmet is a food and beverage manufacturing company based in Sonoma, California, specializing in gourmet pasta sauces, olive oils, and salad dressings.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 9 new doors to enter.

Driver's Market stocks pickles thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 6 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is pickles: Driver's Market stocks only 9 there, so Sonoma Brinery Pickles, Fresh, Bread & Butter stands out rather than blending in.

The full runway
Every category Sonoma Gourmet plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Driver's Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Driver's Market’s 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. Driver's Market profile →
